If you're gonna run
for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes.
Riley Mae Hart loves
sports and action---so when the Swiftriver Shoe Company offers her a contract
to be the spokesperson for their new outdoor sport collection, she jumps at the
chance. Soon she's appearing in commercials and magazine ads, and every girl in
town wants to wear Riley Mae shoes.
Well, except for
Riley. Because walking in those shoes means missing out on softball season,
making her best friend TJ mad, and embarrassing her new friend, Rusty. It also
means sneaking around, hiding, and keeping secrets---because suddenly something
isn't quite right at Swiftriver. But a contract's a contract, so Riley laces up
her 'Rock Shocker' hiking boots for a climb up Half-Dome in Yosemite .
Will they be the
right shoes to get her back on solid ground?
RILEY MAE AND THE
ROCK SHOCKER TREK is the first book in The
Good News Shoes series. It is written for tweeners (8-12 year olds), so I
am letting one of my tweens review the book (which I got from Zondervan for
review, with no expectations for a positive review.)
In my daughter’s
words: RILEY MAE AND THE ROCK SHOCKER TREK is a really exciting book. Riley Mae
liked the shoes she was shown at her father’s shoe store and all of sudden she’s
a spokes-girl for the shoes. She featured on the cover of lot of magazines.
Then Riley Mae’s best
friend gets mad at her because she’s missing all the softball games. Things
only get worse from there, and there’s a bunch of secrets that were a surprise
and kept the pages turning.
Riley Mae is twelve,
just like me, and if she were a real person she’d be my friend because she’s
like me, she likes sports and reading. And I can’t wait to read the next book
in the series, Riley Mae and the Ready
Eddy Rapids. 5 stars. $7.99. 240 pages.
