Gr 6–9—In the fifth and final book of this spin-off to the original "Five Ancestors" series (Random), Jake trains with a cycling team in China and explores his jackal side. Fans of the series won't be able to put down this latest page-turner.
Having survived the seedy world of the dragon bone drug, Jake and his crew of BMX bikers get back to riding. But when they are wooed into attending a street race in China, they find dragon bone waiting for them. Jake's optimistic and honest voice is enjoyable, and one needn't be a bicycling enthusiast to like this energetic (if melodramatic) third series entry.
