Hounds and hares are like cats and mice. At least, that's the way it is
in Great Bone, a little village beside the river. Harley Hare and Hugo
Hound see each other at school every day, and they're interested in the
same things. But they never talk to each other. Why? Because the Hare
and Hound families can't stand one another.
When the annual Big Race takes place on the meadow, Harley and Hugo find
themselves racing neck to neck, until a terrible thunderstorm breaks
out. Hugo is terrified of the storm and the lightning. Harley panics
when they discover they are lost. It turns out that between them, they
know just what to do. And, working together, they not only save
themselves, but become heroes of the day as well.
