I'm thrilled there may be more Nansi books. Her family, friends, and enemy were all delightful characters. I enjoyed living in her fast world for a bit.

The first in a new MG graphic novel series by CB & CD.

Nansi loves being the fastest runner around, but when she loses her first race ever to Tania, Nansi is convinced it’s because she has the newest running shoes. Determined to beat Tania in the next big race, Nansi gets a part time job to save up for the shoes. Things are going great until Nansi gets an offer to work with college track coaches to improve at the same time as her part time job. Can she be at two places at once?

This was an adorable new voice in the genre that is going to be a hit! Incorporating Jamaican culture with the West African trickster, Anansi, made this title unique and made Nansi a character to root for! This book is out May 6!

Nansi is so sure that she can keep winning every race she ever runs, that she stops training. And then her nemesis, Tania, beats her. Nansi is sure it is because of the $300 track shoes, and so, rather than, well, training more, she decides she has to get a job to earn money to buy the shoes.

A cute quick story about going down the wrong path, and not figuring things out.

I enjoyed seeing where Nansi’s brain went, as she tries to figure out how, to finally, train, but also keep her job. The drawings are fun. And the story is as quick as a race.

The only issue I had was her grandmother’s Jamaican accent, that I had to read aloud to understand what she was saying. On one had that was kind of cool, because it gave you a sense of where she was from, but it slowed down the story for me.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This book will be published on the 6th of May 2025.
