Shane recently saved a horse that was stuck in barbed wire. He goes to school the next day wearing tight jeans and cowboy boots. To avoid having the teacher discover he did not do his math homework, he signs up for cross-country - and is intending to run up a hill and back in his jeans and boots. Another boy, who is not running, offers his sneakers, which are about Shane's size.

Shane makes the cross-country running team despite running in jeans and boots the first time out. He also believes that the coach does not like him but will tolerate him anyway. Dad and Jeff give Shane a bike, which he cannot wait to give a spin. Dad is pretty quiet.

Shane's first day at school in Alberta was miserable. He got the last seat on the bus and it was a lousy one, usually reserved for nerdy types. He has 8 pages of homework before noon. and he gets into a fight with the school bully.

Oh dear. Shane's dad continues to drive after drinking. One would think that if you already had an accident driving while drinking and your wife died in that accident, you might want to stop driving after drinking. Two questions I have: Will there be another devastating accident? Will Shane's dad get his life together?

This is quite a sad beginning. The main character, Shane, faces some things that no young person should. His father is an alcoholic and was driving, likely drunk, when his mother died in a car accident. One good thing: Shane has inherited a ranch from his grandfather who passed away not long after his mother's death.
