FEATURED BOOKS
In the Same Boat by Holly Green
Review by Giselle Carlos, age 16 
 
Sadie Scofield is finally ready to accomplish her dream of crossing the finish line in the 265-mile canoe race, the Texas River Odyssey. Ever since her childhood, she’s dreamt of sharing stories like the ones her family members told about their own races, and after letting her dad down the previous year and not finishing the race, Sadie has a lot to prove. However, on the eve of the race, her brother/partner abandons her. Now she has no choice but to team up with her best-friend-turned-enemy John Cullen. Within the first miles, Sadie can’t fathom how they’ll make it through the race, much less make the top 5 like Sadie promised her brother she would. But then again, the fact remains that John was Sadie’s best friend… and maybe she still has a little love left over to make it through.
