Go Boris! It's Field Day, and Boris is ready to run like he's never run before. All he wants is to beat Eddie, who always wins everything. And all his friend Frederick wants is not to come in last...again.

Who will make it across the finish line first? And when Boris is faced with a big decision, will he go for the gold or help a friend in need? Ready, set, go!

Joyner moves effortlessly between small written sections and big illustrations with comic style text. Really gorgeous...But above all, they're just ridiculously fun boy books.
