Description
In the Same Boat by Holly Green
It is redemption time, at least that is how Sadie feels after wanting to quit the Texas River Odyssey with her dad last year. They didn't quit, but they did have to pull out after Sadie was injured during the race. She figures that she will do better this year since she is teaming up with her older brother, Tanner, because her dad has decided that last year would be his final year of racing. Sadie is determined to do well this year, but when Tanner bails on her at the last minute, she is left without a partner - since she can't run the race solo at her age. Much to her surprise, and old friend turned enemy, named Cully, volunteers to be her partner. She can't figure out why after all these years Cully is willing to step up and work with her, but she badly wants to run the race and be successful. But can she trust the boy she once thought was her everything, after all so long?
