Typical story of nice girl who moves to new school and is victimized by rich, beautiful, athletic, ruthless bad girl who rules the new school. Of course, the new girl wins the bad girl’s boyfriend (the hottest guy in school) wins the motocross race after the bad girl is injured and is probably soon to be a rich girl herself. The book starts out promising but too much is crammed in at the end especially the totally unrealistic idea that someone who has never done motocross before could win a regional race. Also, there is truly dangerous and illegal behaviors engaged in by the bad, popular crowd that I think teens themselves would never stand for. With the large amount of good fiction writing for young adults these days, best to skip this one.
