Book Summary and Comments:
Best friends Chris and Winston take a cross-country bicycle ride from West Virginia to Washington State the summer after high school graduation. What is supposed to be one last adventure before they leave for different colleges turns into a mystery when only Chris returns home.
Chapters alternate between recounting the events of the trip and the investigation into Winston’s disappearance. Chris soon realizes he is the prime suspect and must do everything he can to find his friend.
Shift is an enjoyable but predictable book. Readers will identify with the main characters and the realistic events of their journey. The chapters that describe the trip are filled with interesting scenery, remarkable locals, and believable anecdotes. The chapters devoted to the investigation often seem contrived and less likely. Still, young adult readers will like the quick pace and excellent character development.
