The Pumpkin Runner

FROM SARAH:

I first stumbled across this book when I did Five in a Row with my older kids. It's not your standard fall book... but pumpkiny all the same! Note that it's longer than you might expect, so feel free to read it over a few sittings, if it suits you.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

"Nearly all the sheep ranchers in Blue Gum Valley rode horses or drove jeeps to check on their sheep. But Joshua Summerhayes liked to run...with Yellow Dog trailing behind him." So it's no surprise when Joshua decides to enter a race from Melbourne to Sydney.
