Novel for children.

"''Being in quarantine sounds like being in prison'', I said, shivering. Lily nodded.'' A bit like that. Except that the prison is your own home''. It might sound familiar in 2021, but this is New Zealand in 1936-37. The disease is infantile paralysis, or polio, and nobody knows where it will strike next. When even the adults are afraid, Tom finds refuge in his dream-to run in the Olympics like his hero, Olympic champion Jack Lovelock"--Provided by publisher.
