(4) 1-3 Jake Maddox Sports Stories: Olympic Sports series. Illustrated by Eduardo Garcia. Text by Thomas Kingsley Troupe. In this fast-moving sports story, Nick needs to run with the track team to pass PE--but he hates running. The story is predictable, and the cartoony black-and-white illustrations don't add much. However, this low-level chapter book should appeal to struggling readers. Discussion questions, writing prompts, and information about Olympic running events are appended. Glos.
