{"product_id":"9781940595221","title":"High School Runner: Freshman","description":"High School Runner (Freshman) effectively follows the long-held tradition of coming-of-age novels, but with some twists. It tells the story of Sherman Leopold Kindle, or K1, a ninth grader beginning his high school journey as an initially apprehensive member of the cross-country track team. Over the course of the season, he learns to rise to the challenge of the work, self-discipline, teamwork, and most importantly, empathy. His often hilarious, sometimes pathetic, and ultimately pitiful coach mentors all of the runners - veteran or rookie, braggart or slacker, star or dud - in less-than-conventional fashion. As his life falls completely apart - both personal and professional - Coach Viddstein molds his team and inspires them to their greatest success. With splendid details and incisive, humorous writing, Bill Kenley brings Freshman Runner to the finish line.","brand":"River's Edge Media, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055270805744,"sku":"9781940595221","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940595221_p0.jpg?v=1763667661","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940595221","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
