The Pace Pals: Why the Right Shoe Wins

By Taylor Amanda Mangoba

Which shoe is best for Field Day?

Taylor has three favorite sneakers: Pacey, the bouncy runner; Cush, the soft comfort shoe; and Ace, the steady court shoe. At first, she thinks one shoe should be able to do it all. But when Field Day brings sprints, sharp turns, jumps, and all-day walking, Taylor starts testing like a real scientist.

In The Pace Pals: Why the Right Shoe Wins, readers follow Taylor as she explores how shoes squish, spring back, soften landings, and help athletes stay in control. Through an engaging sports story, kids are introduced to real STEM ideas including force, compression, energy return, impact, stability, and fair testing.

Perfect for curious readers, young athletes, classrooms, and STEM enrichment, this book shows that science is not just something that happens in a lab. It is something you can feel every time you run, jump, land, and turn.
