* "A bright salutation of a story, with one determined woman at its center."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review The inspiring story of the first female to run the Boston Marathon comes to life in stunningly vivid collage illustrations. Because Bobbi Gibb is a girl, she's not allowed to run on her school's track team. But after school, no one can stop her--and she's free to run endless miles to her heart's content. She is told no yet again when she tries to enter the Boston Marathon in 1966, because the officials claim that it's a man's race and that women are just not capable of running such a long distance. So what does Bobbi do? She bravely sets out to prove the naysayers wrong and show the world just what a girl can do.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Annette Bay PimentelPublisher: Nancy Paulsen BooksPublished: 02/06/2018ISBN: 9781101996683Pages: 32Weight: 0.80lbsSize: 10.80h x 9.10w x 0.50dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 11/15/2017 pg. 192School Library Journal 12/01/2017Publishers Weekly 12/18/2017Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 02/01/2018Horn Book Magazine 03/01/2018 pg. 111Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2018 - Superior,Well Above AverageAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 193666 / Girl Running: Bobbi Gibb and the Boston MarathonReading Level: 3.7 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
