Mission Rider

By Sharmin Akter

In this YA debut about navigating loss and confronting hurt, two teens unwillingly paired for a school project discover they have more similarities than differences.

Aeryn Rider wants to do better, but her temper cuts through people like a blade. Aeryn was used to her mother taking off, always sure that her mother would come back. Until one day, she didn't. Now, Aeryn is under her sister's guardianship with a whole new set of problems--stress about college, her nephew stuck in the hospital, and returning to school after punching Robbie Nelson.

Alex Finley seems to have it all--a winning attitude, a wealthy family, and a group of friends who just so happen to have it out for Aeryn. When the two are paired for a school project, Alex is sure he can charm his way into her life, but Aeryn is less than enthused about Alex's persistence, especially his hopeful attitude.

As they delve into this partnership, and possible friendship, Alex learns what lay beneath her tough exterior, and Aeryn discovers that she and Alex are more alike than she thought. Maybe having a little hope isn't so bad after all.
