SAVING EMMA by Allen Eskens
I've had so much going on this summer and early fall with trying to promote CHASING ALLIECAT and living life, that I've neglected to review some of my favorite reads this year. I'm going to try to rectify that, but no promises. This one, I can't avoid writing about....
The Best Dam Pie Thank You Ride
Last week, we honored the Dam Store with an official ride titled THE BEST DAM PIE THANK YOU RIDE. Since 2011, the Mankato area has hosted a very popular bike ride. The former River Ramble attracted riders from all over the state and from across state lines. Riders...
Mountain Bike Races–so much fun!
CHASING ALLIECAT goes to Mountain Bike Races! And this is FUN! I get to talk about riding and racing and reading and stories instead of trying to feel like I’m doing promotion.

I would really recommend this book to someone who loves mystery and conflict.
In terms of realistic fiction, Chasing Alliecat was my first foray into this world in YA fiction. This book hooked its fingers into me and drew me into reading from the very first chapter. If this is what all realistic fiction is like, well please let me say that I'm more than happy to go find some more! I felt so invested in these characters that I loved every minute of this book. Absolutely amazing.
It's always good to approach a book with no expectations, which I did with this one. It's a wonderfully-written mystery-of-sorts that, most of all, reads completely true to the reality of the sport at the center of the action (though anyone can enjoy it!).
I absolutely adored Rebecca F-Something Davis's CHASING ALLIECAT. It was mysterious, funny, romantic, and intriguing. CHASING ALLIECAT combines all those things we readers love--unique characters, fast-paced plot, funny narration--perfectly, and makes an enjoyable read.
The reading level of this title is perfect for early chapter book readers, once you are familiar with the Greek terminology and names. The text is in large type and not too lengthy, and the illustrations are colorful and dynamic. A good choice for kids who aren't quite ready for the Goddess Girls series.
I love the mystery behind Allie when you meet her in the book, how tough she is and how unwilling to reveal any type of contact information to Sadie. It becomes apparent that something is going on pretty much from the start when it comes to Allie. She won't share a lot about herself with Sadie except for her love of riding. When Joe comes along and steals Sadie's attention just a bit, you can feel the tension between the characters.
Did not want to put it down and hopeful for a sequel. Adventure, sadness and laughter is what life is.
Rebecca Davis has created very real characters that I'm sure we all can relate to in one way or another. She has captured some very real situations that we can relate to, maybe you or even your child has experienced a similar situation. This is a wonderful and fast read that young and old will surely enjoy. Rebecca has a way with words that captures and reels the reader deep into the story. I highly reccommend [sic] this book!
Chasing Alliecat is a suspenseful mystery and a page turner. My advice is to chase down this book. It would make a great read for the gym while your riding the stationary bike.

It's as simple as this: Chasing AllieCat blew me away in the best way possible, and I have a very strong feeling it will do the same to many other YA book lovers out there, because this book simply has it all: strong characters, a mysterious plot that will keep the reader guessing to the very last page, romance, and plenty more!
