About This Book

A group of Columbia High students gear up for an open interscholastic track and field meet against neighboring towns, concentrating on distance running and field events. Central figures—Frank Allen, Lanky Wallace, and Bones Shadduck—train, plan strategy, and confront obstacles ranging from rival teams and on-road mishaps to a mysterious wagon and encounters with a gypsy caravan. The story balances athletic competition, teamwork, and personal tests of discipline and courage, building to a decisive long-distance race and the consequences that follow.
