About this book:
“If you’re gonna run for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes.
Life is rapidly changing for pre-teen shoe spokesperson Riley Mae. After escaping near disaster at the top of Half Dome in Yosemite, Riley, her family, and her Swiftriver co-workers fly to a secret hideout in Northwest Montana. But when the plane’s malfunction leads to a rough landing, Riley wants nothing more than to return to friends, church, and home. Then she meets Sunday, a ten-year-old boy from Kenya who wrestles fish, battles bears, and tackles leukemia. While her rigorous raft training for the marketing campaign brings a few bumps and bruises, Riley now feels up for the challenge.
Everything looks as bright as the glistening fool’s gold on her “Ready Eddy” river sandals, but everything is not as it seems. Riley soon learns that life is as unpredictable as the raging waters, which, if she is not careful, will sweep her away and into the hands of an enemy who is even closer than she thinks.”
Series: Book #2 in “The Good News Shoes” series. (Book #1 review, Here!)

My personal
Rating-
I’m not a water person at all, so
all those (many) parts were lost on me. Even then, though, “Riley Mae and the Ready Eddy Rapids” was such a great book with fantastic
Spiritual Content.
I also love Flip. That is all.
See y’all on Wednesday with a new
review!
