Maggie Lilleby: Breaking away

By MARGIE THOMSON

One for the sports enthusiasts: the story of Mitch, who loves cycle-racing. She is ready to push herself to the max to achieve her goal of getting in the school racing team to compete in an inter-school cycling race. The challenge amounts to more than just winning the race, though, and Mitch must stand up for herself against some bullies who don't want a girl on their patch. A nicely rounded story.
