Product Description
Fearing that he'll end up like his father, Austin Davis believes he only has one option after high school - winning a seat on KTM's Motocross team and becomming a Factory Rider. But, standing in his way of the high-priced sport is oppressive poverty, his violent father's dirtbike past, and a free-style peer with a grudge. Set on the Motocross tracks of the Pacific Northwest, the Loretta Lynn Amateur Nationals track, and the brand new state-of-the-art KTM training facility in California, Austin, Brooke, Jack and Amanda experience both the painful and rewarding consequences of making tough choices.

 What a thrill December 27, 2006

When my friend told me about this book (he wrote the one below me), i just had to read it! I was quite surprised because like him, i don't like to read. This book was a great read. I even showed my teacher and now hes reading it and he said that his son wants to read it as well. This book is truly contagious! Better get your copy soon!
HOLY COW! December 27, 2006
Wow, this book was great!! It really pulled me in! When i first sat down to read it i planned on only reading a few chapters. By the time that i set the book down i was done! 'm not one who really likes to read, but this book really did it for me! i have never ridden in my life, but by the way the Author, Carolee Tyson wrote it i begged my parents to get me a bike so i could learn and experience the thrills of riding dirt bikes!The first place i saw this was at a local event. The author had set up a booth, and was autographing and selling books. The coolest part about it was that she had a motorcycle their for show! That was really cool. I got me thinking and i asked my parents if they would buy it for me. When they realized i was talking about a book the bought themselves each a copy after reading the back. If your looking for a great, thrilling and amazing read, then go to the next place that you see it because you won't be sorry you did! Five stars and two thumbs way up. I hope this becomes a movie!

Wow this book was phenomenal! I really liked the way that the author titled the chapters. It was very clever! I strongly disagree with the other two reviews (Miracle kid and Miracle Mom). This book was very well done. I really like Brooke; she always knew what to do and I find that very admirable. She is a very responsible person and I want to be like her. I loved this book and recomended it to all of my friends, family and teachers. This is definatley a five star book! Because of the language it's probably better for middle schoolers and above. The ending was my favorite part of the book, it was a real jaw dropper!
 I'm 14 and like motorcycles and books but not this one July 12, 2005

My mom wrote a review about this book and said I could too because she got the book for me and i didn't like it. I wanted to read about motorcycles and real stuff that real kids do not a bunch of junior high drama. it wasn't very good I have read a lot of books and they are better than this one.
Disappointing drivel July 12, 2005

I was really hoping for a better read. Even in the hands of a better
writer this story would fall flat - It is predictable and hum drum. If you need something to help you fall asleep quickly, buy a used copy. Very disappointing.
