About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the concept of fairness or when they are frustrated by someone who seems to be taking shortcuts to win. It is a perfect choice for reluctant readers who prefer high-action sports and the great outdoors over quiet dramas. The story follows Josh and Christyna as they uncover a dangerous plot to sabotage local trails, forcing them to balance their competitive drive with a sense of communal responsibility. While the plot centers on an exciting mystery, the heart of the book is about integrity and the courage required to protect one's community. It provides a safe, age-appropriate environment to discuss how 'winning at all costs' can hurt others. At just 96 pages, it offers a fast-paced and manageable reading experience for middle-grade students who enjoy seeing justice served in a realistic, modern setting.
