My Friend Ben and the Big Race

By Charles Beyl

"Chip and Ben are a delight, and their modest-yet-huge adventure's a treat."—Kirkus Reviews

Chip and Ben think a race sounds like fun, but can their friendship weather the competition?

Chip and Ben are best friends. They play together every day and love to play deep-sea divers. So when Catfish challenges them to a swimming race across the pond, they say yes. But it's a long way across their pond, and is racing what they really want to do?
