Tommy’s Race

** WHILE QUANTITIES LAST **

The lively Fig Street kids return, this time showing compassion and ingenuity when they befriend William, a wheelchair-bound neighbor who quickly becomes a favorite playmate. At the same time they become acquainted, via e-mail from Tommy’s missionary uncle, with a young polio victim who also can’t walk. Joseph lives in Kenya and his family can’t afford to get him a wheelchair. Inspired to do something, the kids rise to the occasion by taking on chores and odd jobs to raise money. But they come up short until an unlikely donor comes their way. Brimming with life, Tommy’s Race, the third volume in Sharon Hambrick’s Fig Street Kids series, will prove a happy read for six- to seven-year olds, and provides an especially tender and memorable conclusion.
