Ike Hebert has a dream, to become a champion motocross racer. But
he has many obstacles to overcome. He is being raised by a single
Mom, with little resources; he has no money, no motorcycles, no
friends, and is failing 9th grade. Then he meets Mr. Gonzales, an
outcast junkyard dealer who has some very old dirt bikes. The two
team up to build the bikes, and Ike fans the flame of his dream
into reality. But all is threatened when Ike discovers Mr.
Gonzales' secret from his past and gets caught up in a crime that
will kill his dream. Join Ike as he rediscovers motivation to
succeed in school, gets his first job, overcomes bullying, solves a
crime and moves his dream into reality. You'll get an inside look
at the culture of south Louisiana, amateur motocross racing and the
importance that mentors play in the lives of teenagers. This is the
first book in the Dirt Bike Ike trilogy.
