Shredded

5 STARS “Shredded is the holy grail of young adult fiction. … This book is absolutely perfect.” – San Francisco Book Review

Rating: A “… this book is so good it made me want to start shouting empowerment slogans at the top of my lungs like some sort of deranged Spice Girl.” – Reviewed on Litchick’s Hit List

“…I loved this book… Avivi makes each event and stunt come alive. She also addresses some very important issues about how young women are frequently treated in extreme sport competitions, and how that can be changed by the young women who participate. You don’t have to be a woman to enjoy this book or be into BMX or other extreme sports. It is a fabulous read and one I wholeheartedly recommend.”

“…5 out of 5 Stars I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! What a Fantastic Story by Karen Avivi!! When Josie would talk about grinding, the half pipe, or jumping stairs, my heart would pound harder as I remembered those days for myself. The feel of the rush as you push harder toward the jump, praying as you fly through the air that you land it – Whoa, it was a blast!… I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary YA, and who also loves extreme sports and the girls who participate in them.”

“…I love this book. Flippin’ LOVE IT… Fast paced, emotionally resonant, and high speed action: this book will play well with guys and girls. The writing is clear and compelling – Josie Peters as a character is clear as day, and her hesitations, hurts, and victories make the text live and breathe… Seriously, if you have any teen/tween girls around you – put this book into their hands. Read it yourself. It’s powerfully motivating … Recommended for Fans of…: STOTANS!, IRON MAN and others by Chris Crutcher… ”

“Fantastic Sports Read for Teen Girls and Guys…Ms Avivi does an outstanding job of taking intricate tricks and describing them so that readers like me who, know nothing about the sport, can picture what the rider is doing, greatly enhancing the enjoyment of Josie’s journey. Because it’s so well-written, and in my opinion combines the best of what constitutes plot-driven and character-driven stories, I think any gender and any age would enjoy this book. Definitely going on my “Recommended” list!”
