Bookroo's summary
Will Matthews discovers the thrill of mountain biking, racing down trails and leaping over obstacles. But as he speeds ahead, he risks leaving behind an old friend. Are his new biking buddies as genuine as they appear, or is he sacrificing true friendship for the rush of the ride? Will must navigate the twists and turns of both the trail and his relationships, questioning what truly matters as he pedals forward.
From the publisher
Will Matthews is lousy at all sports, but even he knows how to ride a bike. He just never dreamed that it could be such a rush! Soon after he joins a mountain biking club, he’s hurtling down hills, pedaling over mud-churned trails, and leaping over rocks and gullies. But is he moving so fast that he’s forgotten the friend he left behind? And are all his new friends as “cool” as they seem?
