A book about perseverance, determination and never giving up. The main character faces many struggles as he changes his school but he continues to follow his dream!
I liked this book as it is about a boy called Kofi who changes school. He finds his new school challenging as he meets a boy who takes an instant dislike to him. However he refuses to give up on his dream and passion for running. It was easy to read and I enjoyed it throughout. It inspired me to be more like Kofi.
This book was enjoyable and calm to read, there were some moments in the book when I was "sitting on the edge of my seat" Mostly at the end when Kofi was about to finish the race. It was very unexpected when Charlie and Kofi were getting more and more agitated as they are very good friends.
This book was very enjoyable and calming to read in the evening, I really liked this book because it showed that you can do anything and that Kofi won the school's most important (to him) track race. There were parts in the story that I found quite interesting as Kofi was very popular as he got into Nunford Boarding School as most of the other people went to St. Vincent. It was also unusual that the teachers weren't really showing much attention until Kofi got beaten up by Miles (the point where Kofi's mum (Evelyn) is about to end his scholarship and make him go to St. Vincent with his friend Charlie who was starting to become more and more agitating for Kofi. Kofi and his dad also had a "Secret" motto, "Carpe Diem" which was used a lot throughout this book mainly at the end when he was about to start the race. I would recommend this book.
