Finish Lines
Description
Miranda needs something to write about in her college application essays. But what?
Miranda has a plan: ace her junior year, get into an Ivy League school, and skip anything that doesn't look good on a college application. But the pressure is getting to her, and now her parents have cut her off from every club, competition, and committee she's a part of.
Desperate to get back on track, Miranda sets her sights on the Texas Water Safari-a 260-mile canoe race her mom was set to do with her granddad. With her mom sidelined by an injury, Miranda joins her grandfather. It's grueling, messy, and scorching hot.
Can a perfectionist survive the wild long enough to find out who she is outside of a college checklist?
