A young racer balancing ambition and belonging

Set in the 2005 snocross circuit, the novel places Shawn Riggs’s bid for a national championship alongside the upheaval of moving in with his father’s new family and starting at a new school. Racing rivalries spill into his life off the track: a prominent football player enters his orbit, while his father’s decision to haul a sled for Jacqui Deville reconnects Shawn with a competitor who previously beat him for a high-point title. The book brings together professional snowmobile racing, family change, school life, and the question of whether achievement or a sense of belonging will shape Shawn’s choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in extreme sports or snowmobile racing
  • Readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories involving family changes and school adjustment
  • Motorsports fans interested in a young competitor’s pursuit of a championship

Book overview

It's 2005-the glory days of snocross racing-and for Shawn Riggs, everything is on the line.

A rising Ski-Doo rider, Shawn has one goal: to become a national champion. But when he moves in with his dad's new family to chase the pro circuit, he's forced to start over-new home, new school, and no place where he quite fits in.

Things go from bad to worse when the school's football star, Ackerman, muscles his way into Shawn's world-and into a front-row seat at the season opener in Duluth. Then comes the real twist: Shawn's dad agrees to haul a sled for Jacqui Deville-the fierce competitor who crushed Shawn's shot at last year's high point title.

Now, surrounded by rivals on and off the track, Shawn has to decide what matters most: proving himself... or finding where he belongs.

With the pressure mounting and old rivalries heating up on the frozen track, can Shawn block out the distractions and ride the race of his life?

Fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled, and packed with snowmobile action, Amazon best selling author Linda Aksomitis takes readers straight into the thrilling, high-stakes world of professional winter racing. Perfect for fans of extreme sports, motorsports, and coming-of-age stories, this exciting young adult novel is a 90-minute short read that drops you right into the roar of the engines and the fight for the finish line.
