School Library Journal Review

Gr 3--7--Reedy's novel follows three middle school students--Swann, Kelton, and Hunter--whose dedication to competing might just cost them their lives. Swann is the child of rich Hollywood movie stars, Kelton comes from a single-parent household with little to no extra funds, and Hunter (Kelton's enemy) is somewhere in between. When Kelton attempts a shortcut during the race, the other two follow him into dangerous land, getting trapped by an avalanche and seeking shelter in a mine to survive. Reedy's writing style evokes classic authors like Gary Paulsen and Terry Lynn Johnson, but this book is also more than an adventure story. Rich dialogue ensues as the trio learn more about each other, exploring the differences they face due to their families' socioeconomic statuses. In the midst of disaster, Swann, Kelton, and Hunter have realistic concerns that will resonate with tweens. A minor plot hole involving Kelton and a pawned knife (the pawn industry is regulated and Kelton is underage) doesn't detract from this skillful, exciting companion to Hunter's Choice. VERDICT A complex novel exploring socioeconomic status and friendship wrapped in an engaging adventure story.--Nathan Neal
