I'd like to give Doug Solter a shoutout for his creative and fun YA book, Skid
Can a small-town girl with a big attitude balance a boy and a racing career in Formula 1, the biggest racing circus in the world? Seventeen-year-old Samantha Sutton is just crazy enough to try it. Samantha pushes herself, pushes her car, pushes her luck at 200 miles per hour while battling Ferrari racing god and seven-time world champion Emilio Ronaldo. But will Samantha's friendship with Manny blossom into romance? Or will the distraction literally kill her?
Paperback Skid Giveaway!
Why I picked this book:
I met Doug through mutual writing buddies on Facebook. We both enjoy writing YA, and I've been wanting to read his book for a while. The Indelibles' book indie shout-out gave me the perfect excuse to devour his fun book and write about it.
Why I liked Skid!:
Who wouldn't like a YA version of Danica Patrick! Samantha's adventures are so well plotted and described in this fast-paced action-adventure thrill ride. The detail of the racing world is spot-on without distracting from the story. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a fun characters in a well-plotted story. I'll definitely read the next book in this series.
