Chasing Alliecat

Chasing AllieCatDumped with relatives in a small Minnesota town (a Mankato suburb) for the summer, Sadie is relying on her mountain bike to save her from total boredom.  Then she meets Allie, a spiky-haired mountain biker who is training for an important off-road race.  Allie leads Sadie and Joe (a cute fellow cyclist) up and down Mount Kato as they train together.  The fun times come to an abrupt end when they find Father Malcolm, a local priest, badly injured and near death, in the woods.  After calling for help, Allie vanishes into thin air.  Sadie and Joe must piece together Allie's past and her connection to the priest.  There are plenty of scary moments, in life and in the bike races.  Don't miss this sports mystery from new Minnesota author Rebecca Fjelland Davis (who lives near Mankato, and rides a bike for recreation--so readers will feel that she knows what she writes about).
