to him? READ THE RUN SERIES: Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids

Patina, or Patty, runs like a flash. She runs for many reasons - to
escape the taunts from the kids at the fancy-schmancy new school she's
been sent to since she and her little sister had to stop living with
their mom. She runs from the reason why she's not able to live with her
"real" mom any more: Her mom has The Sugar, and Patty is terrified that
the disease that took her mom's legs will one day take her away
forever. So Patty's also running for her mom, who can't. But can you
ever really run away from any of this? As the stress builds up, it's
building up a pretty bad attitude as well. Coach won't tolerate bad
attitude. No day, no way. And now he wants Patty to run relay...where
you have to depend on other people. How's she going to do that?

spread cheer wherever she goes. But when she goes to a new school
with a singing Santa backpack and first day Christmas cards (during
a heatwave in September!), she realises not everyone shares her
enthusiasm for spreading cheer. In fact, when the neighbours try to
remove the Carrolls from the street and Holly discovers a group of
children that may not get a Christmas at all, her snowglobe world
begins to crack. Is the world's most Christmassy girl about to lose
her Christmas spirit? The Christmas Carrolls is a heartwarming,
hilarious and inclusive tale about the power of spreading cheer,
