Description

HI/LO title written in verse.

Oliver loves mountain biking on rocky, wooded trails. And he has an unlikely partner—his much older half sister Morgan. One summer evening while out with their dog Digby, Oliver tries to impress Morgan by leading her down a new trail he claims to know. They end up at the bottom of a canyon with no choice but to push their bikes up the steep trail. Then disaster strikes. Morgan slips and badly injures her ankle. With no cell service, it’s up to Oliver to hike out and get help. But daylight is fading fast, and danger waits in the wilderness.

Thank you to NetGalley, Rosen Publishing Group, West 44 Books, and Katy Grant for the opportunity to read Disaster Trail in exchange for an honest review.

This book is written as a HiLo novel-in-verse for a middle grade audience. After reading one of her other novels-in-verse, Three Shots, I was swept away by Katy Grant's style and found myself excited and invested in more from her.

Oliver loves mountain biking and he loves hanging out with his half sister, Morgan. When he finds a new trail to bike, he is excited to show Morgan and bring their dog, Digby, along for the ride. As the title hints, disaster strikes when they accidentally bike their way into a canyon and find it hard to get out.

Upon trying to get back to the main trail, Morgan slips and hurts her ankle. It's up to Oliver, accompanied by Digby, to make his way to a clearing to get a cell signal to call 911 and their dad. Oliver must find responsibility in a tough situation and learn from the experience.

An excellent joy of a read. Great for a middle grade audience with lessons about risk and responsibility.
