A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's been two months since his dad's fatal accident, and eleven-year-old Ricky is still haunted by memories of violent beatings and hurtful words. The kids at school won't let him forget, either, and he's gotten into so many fights, he's on the edge of serious trouble. Ricky can walk away from taunts on the playground, but not when the kids corner him on the bus. So he comes up with a new way to get to school. Not only will he run every morning and afternoon-he'll race the bus. And one day he will leave the past behind-and win.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Even though his violent, drunk father died a few months ago, Ricky and his brother are still being picked on by the kids at school. Ricky knows if he gets in one more fight at school, they'll tell his emotionally-fragile mother and maybe even suspend him. So he decides to avoid the bullies by running home instead of catching the bus. Ricky discovers that racing the bus home makes him feel free and in control for the first time. But will he ever beat the bus, and the bullies? The rest of the town is betting on it...
