Shift to the Extreme Vol. 1, (Paperback)

A fourteen-year-old gets accepted into a school for extreme athletes. Suddenly, his life goes from ordinary to extraordinary. He learns parkour and all the moves and risks of wingsuits and daredevil stunts. But controversy follows hot on his tail, attracting both positive and negative attention. One source of such attention is a corrupt businessman who tries to weasel his way out of a fair deal, and soon the two square off in an obstacle course of his creation.

Miles Monahan's novel Shift to the Extreme is the first in an exciting series focused on young teens and the way they use their extreme-sports skills to change the world and save the day. With this page-turning story, Monahan seems to tell his young readers: Don't just wait for magic to happen-be active now, and maybe you too can do something incredible.
