In "Freaky Fast Frankie Joe" by Lutricia Clifton, young Frankie Joe has a special talent for running fast, which he uses to escape from his troubles. After his family faces eviction, he moves to a new town where he struggles to fit in and deal with the challenges of a new life. Frankie's passion for running becomes both a refuge and a way to confront his circumstances. As he trains for a race, he learns about friendship, belonging, and the importance of perseverance. Through his journey, Frankie discovers that true success isn't just about winning, but about finding one's place in the world. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
