Keeping Pace

Description

勞麗·莫里森的《保持步伐》是一部感人肺腑的中級小說，講述了一群從朋友變成對手的孩子們參加半馬拉松訓練的故事，並重新思考什麼是勝利以及他們彼此之間的意義。

Laurie Morrison’s Keeping Pace is a poignant middle-grade novel about friends-turned-rivals training for a half-marathon—and rethinking what it means to win and what they mean to each other.

Grace has been working for years to beat her former friend Jonah Perkins’s GPA so she can be named top scholar of the eighth grade. But when Jonah beats her for the title, it feels like none of Grace’s academic accomplishments have really mattered.

They weren’t enough to win—or to impress her dad. And then the wide, empty summer looms. With nothing planned and no more goals or checklists, she doesn’t know what she’s supposed to be working toward.
