In the book Joyride, Nina is used to moving around. Her mother, Joyce, sometimes just packs up everything and takes Nina and herself to the newest
town. Now that Nina is growing older, she starts to wonder why she has to keep
running away. Why can't she stay and keep her friends, stay on the basketball
team, and be best friends with Sam Gordon? Her mother doesn't explain, and
after one too many moves, Nina finds out a secret that will make her question
her entire life.
I really enjoyed this book because it was a thriller
and a bit mysterious. I loved the fact that Nina and her mother had to move a
lot, because the author did a very good job about describing the city, it made
me feel like I was there too. In the beginning, the book started off a little
slow, but towards the middle and right up until the end the book really was a
joyride. I had no idea what was coming! This book is geared more towards a teen
and adult audience and will leave you speechless!
