Drop into the world of rule-breaking, gravity-defying girls
who shred riding freestyle BMX. More than a girls' sports
book or a BMX biking book, Shredded by Karen Avivi is a
motivating push-your-limits story that takes on feminism,
friendship, sexism, and sibling rivalry. Josie Peters thinks
she'll do anything to ride in the Ultimate BMX freestyle
event the summer before her senior year. To hit the
qualifying events in the Midwest, Josie and her friends take
off on a summer road trip where late-night parties, an
intimidating mega ramp, and the lure of sponsorships spark
friction between the girls. When Josie's best chance for
success depends on her relationship with flashy rider R.T.
Torres, she has to decide what she's trying to win and how
much she'll sacrifice. Even readers unfamiliar with BMX or
extreme sports will be caught up in the adrenaline rush of
Josie's tricks, wipeouts, and wins. Hints of romance provide
extra conflict without overtaking the main plot. Ideal for
fans of realistic young adult fiction, Shredded features a
strong female lead character who goes after what she wants
by taking action.
