Miles Lewis dreams of being a top runner in Brookside Elementary's Fun Run. Despite his sprinting prowess, long distances challenge him, prompting a new training regimen. On race day, Miles faces a dilemma: push for his personal best or help a struggling peer. As he grapples with this choice, Miles must redefine what true victory means. Will he prioritize his goals or extend a helping hand? This heartwarming tale explores the essence of sportsmanship and friendship, leaving readers to ponder the true meaning of success.
From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans! The annual Fun Run is coming up at Brookside Elementary! The students will all run laps around the carpool lane, and Miles Lewis wants to be one of the top five runners. Even though he zooms through sprints, he runs out of gas for long distance, so he creates a nutrition and exercise regimen to boost his endurance. But on the big day, he witnesses one kid struggling to keep going. Should Miles keep pressing for his personal best, or should he lend support to help a friend? In the end, Miles must decide what winning really means to him.
