...whatever the team lacks in endurance this year, they'll make up in speed, with the help of lickety-split-quick junior Cat Ferrante and senior co-captain sue St. Louis...
This was no ordinary bus. Anybody could tell as much from the fact that folks are being welcomed aboard by a human-sized cat of polka-dotted green. The mimic cat, it turns out, is named Readmore. And he-or she, or it-is part of the crew of this onetime school bus that the Indiana department of public instruction has dressed up as a roving Read-A-Rama, or bookmobile.
