Just how intense are the Massey Obstacle Olympics?

When Max tells Jordan that their school's end-of-year carnival will include the Massey Obstacle Olympics, Jordan is super excited. He's been jogging with his grandmother and dreaming of the chance to be in a real race. Even though chatter at school does make the obstacle course sound intimidating, and the new kid, Ivan, is trying to scare him off, Jordan knows that, with Max as his coach, he's ready for anything.

When it rains on the day of the carnival, Max starts panicking. Then Ivan shows up wearing fancy new cleats and Jordan begins to wonder if he's up for the challenge. But during the race, Jordan finds out that help can come from unlikely places—and new friendships can blossom when you least expect them.

This is the third book from Suzanne Sutherland featuring Jordan and Max, following Jordan and Max: Showtime and Jordan and Max, Field Trip!

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

      Gr 1-3-Jordan discovered his love for running when he moved in with his grandmother a year ago. Now, with the support of his best friend Max, he is training for the big obstacle course race at school. He views the quiet new kid, Ivan, as his biggest competition. Feeling confident, Jordan enters the race with the hope of doing his best-and possibly winning. When one of his competitors struggles with an obstacle due to a fear of heights, Jordan helps her, setting a cooperative tone for the rest of the race, where participants begin to support one another. Centered on the theme that anyone can enjoy exercising, this book is both exciting and uplifting. The illustrations, which depict a diverse cast of characters and emphasize movement, enhance the story. VERDICT A positive and engaging story about exercise and sportsmanship that is a worthwhile addition to any collection.
