He learns there is a mountain bike club. The best thing about the mountain bike club is you don't have to try out to join. Many of the club members are popular, too. He finally has a way to spend his afternoons other than watching television and playing video games.
A subplot exposes peer pressure and Will overcoming it. A rift between mountain bikers and hikers and horseback riders is revealed and resolved.
The vocabulary that is used is geared to middle grade readers. The subject matter will appeal to boys and reluctant readers. The pace and prose will sustain a child's interest. I recommend this book. ( )
