Book 5 in the Gaby series sees the action move to Germany where life for Drew can only get better - or can it? This volume includes material never before available in any format.
The book starts off with Drew in the hospital, having been injured in a bike crash. Will be held over night.
Put in a ward with three girls.
He wins his first race in Germany and gets enrolled in school. He knows enough German to get by. As usual, most of the students think he is a girl. As usual, in one way or another he gets maneuvered into wearing girl's clothes.
There's also a very shocking section where Drew has died. This includes the obit and other material. The question is:is Drew really dead? Another good story in the series.
I am enjoying the story up to now. The other books have been fun to read. The only problem I have with this book the the way it is set up the format was not executed well at all. The story is not linear as the rest of the books have been. Some book can pull it off but this one is a jumbled mess... There are several missing plot points as well. The trick is to trudge through the book so you can you can get to the next book! I hope in the future it is maybe re-edited to fix the issues.
This isn't a real book in the sense the others are, this is more a collection of shorts. While most of them are very good, some of them are a bit choppy, there's little continuity and a couple of them end with a cliffhanger situation that's never resolved in this, or subsequent, book.
I can't give this more than three stars because, as the title indicates, it was made up of bits rather than a straight narrative. This means the story thread you were reading would simply end. Although the broad story was there it kept on cheating you at the final moment.
