Maisie's Race by Jeni Mawter

Maisie's school was having a Mini Olympics day but Maisie wasn't looking forward to it. She wasn't in any races but she really wanted to beat her classmate, Harriet Tate. Harriet was in the green team and Maisie was in the cheering squad for the pink team.
Harriet had won lots of races and the green team was beating the pink team by 1 point before the last race - the long-distance race. Maisie had a great idea and asked her teacher if she could do it. The teacher finally said yes, and on the last few pages you find out that Maisie is in a wheelchair and the teacher has let her be in the long-distance race. She wins the race, beating Harriet, and the pink team wins the Mini Olympics!
I really liked this story and especially the surprise at the end.
