Book Description

Lindsay lives in a world of superheroes-except, that world is in her head. She wants more than anything to become a hero, reading comic books as research materials and training by fighting her teddy bears for practice. She's even got the perfect arch-nemesis: her cousin, who pretty much has to be a supervillain. Will Lindsay be able to defeat Phoebe, or will her cousin's evil plan come to fruition? ...Or, will it turn out completely different? When Lindsay's parents take off for an archaeological dig-such a comic book cliche!-Phoebe takes her young cousin in for the summer. But instead of menacing the world and robbing banks, the punk rocker-turned bike racer brings Lindsay along and into the world of Joyride, a bike park where kids really can fly. Shy bookworm Lindsay will still have a chance to save the day, but only after meeting Ali and Jen and learning to ride-and how to make friends and stand up for herself.Everyone can be a superhero, but it's a lot more fun when you're not alone. And now, the Shred Girls are going to take the cycling world by storm. Pedal along for Lindsay's Joy Ride, and get ready for more action-packed adventures that don't stop when the bike race ends. Shred Girls is a new series written for middle-grade to early young adult girls that follows Lindsay, Ali and Jen as they navigate the perils and pitfalls of life while learning how to ride and race bikes.
