Yeah, I’m in a commercial.
Today, one of my students stood a bit awkwardly beside me and finally said, "Becky, I have to ask. Are you in a commercial?" Yes, this is me. During the senior games in August, a production company for Blue Cross asked all participants if we had stories of...
National 24 Hour Challenge and following
The National 24 Hour Challenge is in the past now, a month+ ago, but I need to reflect a bit on it. This is more of a photo gallery for my own memories than anything else, but if you feel like slogging through it, more power to you. This race was harder than I...
A self-indulgent look at how my life has broken into 20-year sections
This drizzly morning, I have been doing much thinking. I need to blog about the 24-Hour race, but since I feel as if it's all been said, I keep making lame, failed starts. Here's what I've been thinking. My life has been divided into 20-year increments. Every 20...

Did not want to put it down and hopeful for a sequel. Adventure, sadness and laughter is what life is.
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.
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.
I would really recommend this book to someone who loves mystery and conflict.
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.
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 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!).
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!
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!
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.
