(3) 4-6 Fourth-grader Mina worries that her friendship with Ruth will dissolve if Mina beats Ruth in the fifty-meter race. This short novel does a fine job of expressing the conflicting feelings of a child who values both doing her best and saving a friendship. Marsden's characters are realistic and likable.
