Fleur Beale is without doubt one of our most versatile and engaging writers. She has produced stories appealing to girls - Lacey and the Drama Queens/Lucky for Some, and books that are fantastic for boys, even reluctant readers - Slide the Corner, Driving a Bargain and this book, Deadly Prospect.Lincoln MacKenzie doesn’t really rate motocross – until one day a friend takes him for a ride on the back of his bike. After that he can’t stop talking about it. He saves up for his own bike, gets good advice and becomes obsessed with the sport. His parents are not happy about it, but since his father is miles away, Lincoln doesn’t care. Then troubles begin – troubles with his parents, with his brother and worse, he has to accept advice from a girl!
Recommended for year 5 and up.
