Andreo's Race

“The race …. makes absorbing reading but serves largely as a backdrop to Andreo’s stubborn pursuit of his Quechua birth mother’s identity. [Withers] closes her tale with a round of fulsome apologies that neatly cements Andreo’s troubled relationship with his adoptive family.” – Kirkus Reviews


“This action-packed book revolves around the topics of adventure races and illegal adoptions, managing to make both interesting and highly readable …. The experience of adventure racing is brought to life in the story, with readers experiencing the intensity of training and competition through Andreo …. The simple, straightforward language, surprise twist, and nonstop action will appeal to reluctant readers looking for a thrilling novel.” – School Library Journal
