About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is a natural risk-taker who struggles to understand the consequences of their actions on others.

To make things right, he must channel his daring nature into a productive and dangerous challenge set by the park manager. This short chapter book explores themes of personal accountability and redemption without being preachy. It validates a child's need for excitement while teaching that true bravery is found in fixing your mistakes. It is perfectly paced for reluctant readers aged 8 to 12 who need a story that moves as fast as they do.
