Synopsis

Fourteen-year-old Daisy Howson is a take-charge kind of girl, maybe even something of a control freak. She means well—she just wants everything to run smoothly, especially on her relay team. But when someone tries to sabotage the boys' relay team, Daisy suspects her own team may be involved. Can she sort it all out and fix everything up again before the city championship meet?
