Step aside for a fresh and funny new voice in middle-grade graphic novels.
Nansi has never lost a race … until snobby Tania beats her in an unofficial event. Surely it’s Tania’s flashy shoes that gave her the edge. Nansi has to get a pair before the track tryouts! But how will she kick up $338?

This endearing debut hits the ground running with humor, hijinks and a heroine who always goes the distance – even if it’s the wrong way.
