The character I like best is Jessica because she is positive
even at first she was left behind during the race.

the strategy that they will use in the

they will win.
Most Interesting Part of Story:
The most interesting part of story is during
the race. Todd’s wheel rolled off. Jessica
overtakes him & also overtakes ken. Then
Jessica won the race.

lesson to find “don’t loose hope in every
race of life, sometimes God give us
challenges to make us stronger”.
