A young, energetic boy and an old, ornery goat are constantly at odds in Ashlee Cox’s thrilling summer read, The Chase.

Within the book, every child knows that the fierce animal named Chaser is the self-proclaimed guardian of Riley's notorious mango tree, and only a few are able to challenge him and escape unscathed.

The goat has had enough of Speedo and his friends trespassing on his property, scaring the other farm animals and pilfering from the mango tree right on the edge of his territory on the Riley’s Farm.

He chases them away every time, but aggravatingly, they keep coming back.

Unfortunately for Speedo, a fan of the best tasting mangoes in the village and The Riley Farm in general, while he sees Chaser as nothing more than a smelly nuisance, Chaser however loathes him the most.

Speedo and Chaser’s  first meeting led to a huge misunderstanding, and  tensions between the two continue to escalate with each ill-fated interaction, but when Chaser finally snaps and pursues Speedo past his usual boundary and up a hill, determined to inflict serious harm, Speedo, will have to live up to his name in order to stay ahead of the enraged animal’s  sharp horns.

The fear is palpable as Speedo finds himself running for his life because Chaser is unbelievably relentless and will stop at nothing to catch his prey.

Speedo can feel Chaser's malicious intent, and though he is aching, bleeding, and stressed, he is more determined than ever to outwit the goat in this final chase.

The Chase is a fantastic blend of action and humor that will take you on a thrilling wild ride!

Will Chaser finally rid himself of Speedo or will Speedo find a way to outsmart the deranged animal?
