ISBN: 9781940595221.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh School Runner (Freshman) effectively follows the long-held tradition of coming-of-age novels, but with some twists. It tells the story of Sherman Leopold Kindle, or K1, a ninth grader beginning his high school journey as an initially apprehensive member of the cross-country track team. Over the course of the season, he learns to rise to the challenge of the work, self-discipline, teamwork, and most importantly, empathy. His often hilarious, sometimes pathetic, and ultimately pitiful coach mentors all of the runners - veteran or rookie, braggart or slacker, star or dud - in less-than-conventional fashion. As his life falls completely apart - both personal and professional - Coach Viddstein molds his team and inspires them to their greatest success. With splendid details and incisive, humorous writing, Bill Kenley brings Freshman Runner to the finish line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"River's Edge Media, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966151847989,"sku":"ByrdShop_1940595223","price":59.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781940595221_5ebce40e-5872-4481-bcba-7b67779e55a5.jpg?v=1778796579","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/high-school-runner-freshman-9781940595221","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
