Review

An absolutely stunning book in its telling, its full color illustrations , and its overall presentation. In its just over fifty pages, "ancient" Harry Miller tells eleven year old Liam who is practicing for a race and his mom all about Harry's memorable race run with three friends when he was also eleven years old. The joys of the sport of running and the means by which to live a long and happy life are the story's focus. Written by a much awarded English author, the book is published in a beautiful gift edition. Recommended to all ages of about nine years old and up.

Overall Book Score: excellent
