Twelve-year-old Emmie is working to raise money for a tricked-out
wheelchair to get serious about WCMX (wheelchair motocross), when a
wipeout on a rickety ramp throws her plans into a tailspin. Instead
of replacing the ramp, her school provides her with a kind but
unwelcome aide - and, seeing a golden media opportunity, launches a
public fundraiser for her. Emmie loves her close-knit rural town,
but she can't shake the feeling that her goals suddenly aren't hers
anymore. With the help of her best friends, Emmie makes a plan to
get her dreams off the ground - and show her community what she
wants, what she has to give, and how ready she is to do it on her
own terms.
