“I liked Racing the
Rope very much. I thought it was a wonderful book for K-12 students with a lot
of positive messages.”
--Marty
Winkler, President of RopeSport (ropesport.com)
“I really enjoyed your book. I loved the ending, and Geran
really did become a big winner, a winner in discovering that there's more to
life than what meets the eye, or I should say, more to life than outside the
playground. I feel children can learn a lot from this book, it teaches great
moral character on Geran's part and also family
unity. Overall, great
story!”

“Racing the Rope
........... awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This boy named Geran is originally a football player. He is in sixth grade
and he decides to join in on the girls' jump roping games. At first, all he
wants to do is win the jump roping tournament at the end of the year. Geran suddenly realizes that winning isn't everything.”
