Even though he was once his biggest rival, Jake Jarvis is thrilled when Spencer Solomon agrees to join the Diamonds cross-country team to compete in the Barry's Bay provincial championships. Everyone is pumped, everyone is focused, and Jake has to admit, he really likes their chances. At the last moment, Spencer informs the team that he can't go. Jake is furious. But when Spencer explains that he's worried about leaving his wheelchair-bound father alone, Jake gets to work on finding a solution to get Spencer and the Diamonds back on track.

Because she loves to read, loves to write, and thinks kids are the best, writing books for children and having them published is a dream come true for Sylvia Taekema. Besides spending time with her own children, she also enjoys working with kids in schools and in various programs in her community of Chatham, Ontario. "Seconds," her first novel for young readers, was voted a Silver Birch Express Honour Book in the Ontario Library Association's Forest of Reading Program, 2015. It was also a nominee for the 2015 Diamond Willow Award.
