About HSR-
 
High School Runner 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. 
 
About TLRS-
 
The cast of High School Runner is back! K1, K2, Coach V, Popeye and Slade, along with some new goofballs and doofus-faces, continue their running journeys in this collection of short stories based on Bill Kenley’s hilarious and poignant coming-of-age novel. 
 
Following Sherman Kindle through all four years of his high school experience, these twenty stories explore the powerful connection between running, team and identity. From finding dead bodies on long runs, to racing through snow drifts barefoot to encountering ghosts at cross country camp, K1 and his band of brothers grow together forming the kind of bonds only shared suffering, stupidity and experience can create.
