Summary: A Ride Well Worth Taking
Review: Factory Ride is a poignant story of what every parent wants to teach their child: that choices matter; they ultimately make you who you are.
Tyson's tale of a teenager's conflicts - both inner and outer - ride on the gripping tread of a dirt bike. Her ability to soar the reader through the rough terrain of adolescence leaves the reader feeling as if he/she has personally ridden the choice-laden life of Austin Davis. Real. Timely. A ride well worth taking.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This is a great book about kids and the choices they make in their lives! I'm 35 and liked it so much that I read it in three sittings. I know nothing about motorcross racing but was excited about the race sequences and the authors use of the racing "lingo." I also thought it was insightful to title the chapters with the lesson learned (or not) in the corresponding chapter. This would be a great book for teenagers who have problems making good logical choices. It's a great book and easy read for the price!
