Description
Summary:"Nansi has been a track star her whole life. When Tania, the girl who has everything, beats Nansi in a race, Nansi knows it was only Tania's new running shoes that gave her the edge. She is determined to get her own pair before the school track meet -- if only she can find $$340. Luckily, she has Granny, who sets up Nansi with a job at her friend's salon. But another hurdle comes when she's needed at work and the track at the same time. Good thing Nansi was born to scheme! This debut middle-grade graphic novel hits the ground running with humor, hijinks and a heroine who always goes the distance -- even if it's the wrong way."--

Author Notes:When Carl Brundtland was growing up, his grandma would share little life lessons in the form of Jamaican proverbs. His favorites were the stories about Anansi the spider, which inspired the antics found in his debut graphic novel. He lives in Toronto, Ontario, with his wife and two kids, who bring their own form of mischief to his life.
