Spiked Snow

Extreme Mysteries:Spiked Snow by Laban Hill is a story about a group of teens who are in college, who want to go to the Winter X-Games. The main characters in the book are Kevin, Jami, and Natalie. They try to get into the Winter X-Games; Snow boarding, Speed Skating and Shooting. Strange things started happening like an avalanche, which almost buried Kevin. My favarite character was Jamil because he is funny and he made me laugh at some of his jokes.I can relate to Kevin because when I first started to mountain bike I did not know what to do. I have not felt or done anything like the characters in the story. I like this book because it is about my favorite sport; mountian biking.My favorite part of the book is when they get stuck in a man-made avalanche inside a small house. I did not have any least favorite parts in the book. If I could change anything in the book it would be for Kevin to not almost get buried in the avalanche.I would recommed this book to a person who likes mountain biking. The age range should be 10-13.

It was awsome

I really liked this book, I`ve read 3 books in the series and this is by far the best one yet. I think it is one of those books that you really get into and never want to put it down. I just got the last 4 in the series so I hope they`re just as good.
