THE FASTEST BOY IN THE WORLD

Solomon, onze ans, adore courir : il rêve qu'un jour il sera un athlète médaillé d'or, malgré ses shorts en lambeaux et ses pieds nus.

When his grandfather announces that he's going to take Solomon to Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, Solomon cannot believe his ears. And he is even more excited to hear that the Ethiopian running team will be doing a victory parade through the city that day!But then Solomon's grandfather collapses – and Solomon knows that getting help from his village is up to him. It's a twenty-mile run from the city to home, and his grandfather's life hangs in the balance.
