The annual Fun Run is coming up at Brookside Elementary! The students will all run laps around the carpool lane, and Miles Lewis wants to be one of the top five runners. Even though he zooms through sprints, he runs out of gas for long distance, so he creates a nutrition and exercise regimen to boost his endurance.
But on the big day, he witnesses one kid struggling to keep going. Should Miles keep pressing for his personal best, or should he lend support to help a friend? In the end, Miles must decide what winning really means to him.

From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans!
This series features Jada Jone's friend, Miles Lewis, a confident fourth grader who lives with his parents and grandmother. Like Jada, Miles enjoys science—and being the best at everything he tries! The books focus on everyday, age-relevant experiences relating to family, friendships, and school, while including a little Black history, courtesy of Miles's father, who is a Black history professor.
Single-color cartoon-style illustrations aid the narration while transitioning the reader to text-only chapter books. Ideal for growing independent readers.
