Gravity Check (Orca Sports)

Jamie is determined that nothing―not even his annoyingly popular younger brother Seth―is going to spoil his fun at a mountain biking camp in the backcountry.

Nothing except stumbling on a giant grow-op in the woods, that is. And watching their fellow campers get captured by violent drug dealers. And working with Seth to figure out a way to save them without getting caught themselves.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read!
