Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Mike Porter is an excellent Motocross racer. He works after school for Bill Maslak in a Honda cycle shop that is owned jointly by Bill and Mike’s mother. Bill is his sponsor, mechanic and mentor since Mike’s father’s death in a tragic motorcycle racing accident. Ann Porter, Mike’s mother, is not a supporter of Mike’s racing having lost her husband to the sport. She wants Mike to go to college instead. Mike is a little on the overconfident side. He has an accident in the last race of the previous season that puts him out of contention for a factory sponsorship. He hopes to prove himself and secure the sponsorship in the new season. He also has a rival, Walter Ackley, who is a good rider but a particularly nasty individual. His goal is to injure Mike during races so he can secure the sponsorship for himself. Follow Mike’s heroic efforts to capture his dream in the book 'Motocross Mike'. More adventures with Mike Porter will follow soon in 'Motocross Mike Races Supercross'.

Our school was fortunate enough to have Mr. Loomis as a guest speaker. He took the children through the writing process with the use of this book, he was very informative and enlightening.
Motocross Mike is a refreshing approach at aiming and obtaining interest of relucant readers, especially boys. Several of our students who rarely read unless required to do so, were caught reading this book when they were suppose to be working on something else. That's a good sign!!
I would strongly recommend that any media specialist should put it on their "Got to have list". You won't be disappointed.

This was a great book to read with my 12 year old son and my 10 year old daughter. We would read a chapter evey night,it was action-packed. We couldn't wait to read what would happen to Mike next. We had a hard time putting it down. I highly reccomend it.

As a literacy volunteer I saw how hard it is to entice young boys for whom reading is still a challenge to pick up a book. Motocross Mike's adventures on the track should do the trick.
Retired elementary school principal, Charles Loomis knows his sport and knows his kids. Motocross Mike deals with the stuff that keeps young readers revved and ready to read -- trouble with Mom, trouble with a bully, a little danger and great friends playing hard together. An excellent choice for the middle school reader.

This book will definitely hold your interest as their are many subplots to build tension in the story. Not only does the detail of the actual motocross races hold you in suspense but the ultimate decision that Mike and his mother must make is a familiar crisis for many teens. This book is a must for motocross enthusiasts and will be an enjoyable read for anyone who is interested in young adult fiction. As a reading specialist I will be recommending this book to my reluctant male readers at middle school level.
