(2) 1-3 Franklin School Friends series. Illustrated by Rob Shepperson. This third installment focuses on Izzy Barr, the fastest runner in the third grade--until classmate Skipper beats her. Izzy desperately wants to beat her rival, first at school field day and then at the citywide 10K. Mills presents and resolves problems in a winning story; Shepperson's depiction of Izzy as African American adds welcome diversity to this group of friends.
