Mack McGinn's Big Win

179 pp. | Simon | July, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-1613-0 $15.99
(4) 4-6 Sixth-grader Mack, himself an accomplished athlete, is dying to best his seemingly perfect brother. He thinks the Danville Day Turkey Trot 5K is the place to prove himself to his sports-obsessed, class-conscious parents. A subplot about Mack's stoic friend from the wrong side of the tracks is heavy-handed, but readers may enjoy the sports action.
