If you’re gonna run for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes.
Life
is rapidly changing for pre-teen shoe spokesperson Riley Mae. After
escaping near disaster at the top of Half Dome in Yosemite, Riley, her
family, and her Swiftriver co-workers fly to a secret hideout in
Northwest Montana. But when the plane’s malfunction leads to a rough
landing, Riley wants nothing more than to return to friends, church, and
home. Then she meets Sunday, a ten-year-old boy from Kenya who wrestles
fish, battles bears, and tackles leukemia. While her rigorous raft
training for the marketing campaign brings a few bumps and bruises,
Riley now feels up for the challenge.
Everything
looks as bright as the glistening fool’s gold on her “Ready Eddy” river
sandals, but everything is not as it seems. Riley soon learns that life
is as unpredictable as the raging waters, which, if she is not careful,
will sweep her away and into the hands of an enemy who is even closer
than she thinks.
I chose this book to ready because I have niece's that are avid readers and I wanted to find books that are interesting, but wholesome. Another reason this book caught my attention is the location of Yosemite. I live near Yosemite and it is pretty cool to read about a national landmark in California, and a place I have been to.
I was very pleased with the book. The storyline kept your attention and you also learned an awesome value that it is more to life than just yourself. There is a someone greater! I highly recommend this book for the teens out there. I am going recommend this book and the series to my niece's. This would be a great addition to your library.
