Books with title Running the Road to ABC

Six island children are running at daybreak -- over the hills, through the fields, across the city square -- to school! Never before has the love of learning (and learning together) been such a joyous time. Denise Lauture's buoyant, poetic text captures the happiness and youth of energetic children on the way to school; Reynold Ruffins perfectly illustrates the rich beauty of Haiti with the bright-colored vibrance of Haitian folk art. A great read-aloud book for the classroom.

Ridge is a road rally fan and now 16. Across the car lot he sees the car of his dreams. This white Ford Fiesta with flames on it has to be his. Ridge loves driving his car. He tackles the back roads in stages until trouble leads to disaster. Lisa marries George, a man she admires until he moves her into an isolated cabin and leaves her alone for days at a time. He is terrified someone will steal his Lisa and will do anything to keep her away from people. Ridge finds Lisa and more trouble.
