Eva to the Max

Eva loves motocross but when she gets relentlessly bullied about it she is forced to change schools, and keep her motocross career hidden.  But when Eva pushes herself and her bike to hard in a race Eva finds out the truth behind the cost of her decisions.  There is also a new girl at school that not only threatens Eva’s secret but also her chances to get sponsored by company that will help with the cost of her beloved sport.

I never thought I would like a book in verse, but the subject matter kept me going and I loved every lap of this book.  I love any book were the female out plays the guys and wins.  I guess I see myself there as when I grew up there weren’t enough girl to make a league or their own motos, so we always got mixed in with the guys.  Like Eve there was always to ones to bully girls about playing sports with the guys, and like her I am sure many hide the fact that they played to curtail the bullying even though they might have been better than the guys.  I found Eva to be everything a girl athlete is and hopes to become she is very believable as are all the characters.  I did like the writing style and found it flowed well and with the short subsections made it easy for a dyslexic reader.  I am glad there are more books out the where girls get to break out of their shells.  I loved Eva and hope to see more stories like hers.
