Manhattan Luke

Manhattan Luke is the fastest kid on his block, but one big day of mishaps puts his faith and determination to the test.

Luke is tall for his age, loves his grandma's hugs, and never leaves for school without saying a prayer. Today is the day of the big 100-meter race at school, and he has been timing his runs for weeks to beat his own record.

But the morning doesn't go as planned. A sweet treat gone wrong, an unexpected fall, and a school project he worked hard on all add up to a day full of surprises. Along the way, the people in his neighborhood each encourage him with the same simple reminder:

"Get back in that race!"

As the big race draws closer, Luke begins to wonder if his day can get any worse. Will he overcome the obstacles in his path, or will disappointment get the best of him?
