Publisher's Summary:
When Hana Fisher moves to the small town of Mixon, Texas, to live with her dad, she dreads having to work at the boring pile of dirt he fondly calls a motocross track. But when she gets there, she finds the rinky-dink dirt bike track from her childhood has grown into the most respected racing track in the state - not to mention it's just crawling with hot, sweaty guys.
Now popular by association, Hana endures the pain and sweat of working in the summer heat in order to fit in with a sport she's growing to love. She gets a real family, a best friend and not just one, but two of the fastest racers trying to win her heart.
When Hana abuses her status as the track owner's daughter to help the gorgeous Ryan Russo cheat in the biggest race of the year, she risks more than just losing her job. Every good thing in her life is at stake now - her friends, her dad's trust, and Ash Carter - the kind-hearted racer who may not be as alluring as Ryan, but is proof that nice guys don't always finish last.

Hot guys, new setting, different-than-usual premise. Yes yes yes!
"He's tall with shaggy blond hair and muscular arms. He's holding a twenty-dollar bill. He's muscular. And he's holding a twenty-wait, I already said that."
MOTOCROSS ME couldn't have been released at a better time--it is cute, funny, and has competition and romance--it's the perfect summer read. I've been looking for something a little different lately, and MOTOCROSS ME fit the bill. Let's go over a few reasons for this, shall we?
1. Hot guys?
Check.
2. Interesting, not overused setting?
Check.
3. MC who works her butt off and learns to appreciate said work?
Check check.
(Of course, parental angst, new friends, boy problems, and a whole lot of other stuff is also mixed into this book's formula, but why give everything away?)
You know how, a lot of times, summer changes things and exposes you to new people and new experiences? That's what Motocross Me is about. Hana gains a few new relationships whilst on her summer job. She also ends up seeing a few people she's known for a long time in totally different light. This not only helps her make new, more mature decisions, but, in the end, also helps her learn from her mistakes.
From a storyline point of view, I enjoyed mostly everything, aside from wanting to knock some sense into Hana on occasion. At first, this started to get to me. Uh, HELLO! I wanted to yell. Make a decision, Hana!!! (Of course, I knew who I would choose--Ash. Duh.) But then I had to remember that this *is* YA, and YA has teenage protagonists, and this is the time in life where decisions are most made based on learning from your experiences and what you've been taught to expect. Once you look at it in that aspect, Hana's indecisiveness makes a whole lot more sense.
I also really appreciated learning the ins and outs of a motocross track. Nothing was told in a way that became boring or overly factual, and at times I actually found myself wanting to find a race to watch on TV so I could see what was being explained! (Yes, I do feel a little bit smarter now!)
I leave you with one last quote (actually the end of a chapter) that made me laugh:
"Anytime." I snicker and he shakes his head at me, smiling as he drives away. I wipe my forehead and press the talk button on my walkie-talkie. "Molly, tell Shelby her brother is a dork.
