Shift written by Jennifer Bradbury


it is a few days until high school graduation, Chris's mom has told him he needs to get a job for the summer. This doesn't thrill Chris at all. He has an idea to travel cross country by bicycle. He mentions the idea to his best friend Win. Both boys ask their parents and grudgingly parents agree. The day after graduation at 8am the boys are on their adventure. As Chris and Win begin their journey they meet variety of people on the road. Chris gets a flat, Winston doesn't stop but keeps going. Chris never catches up with Winston. Chris finished his trip, dipped his toes and front wheel into the Pacific Ocean but what happened to Winston? Chris is at college, beginning his first year actually first week when a FBI agent shows up to question him about Winston's disappearance. Mr. Coggons questions Chris and his family, he wants to know where or what happened to his son. Does Chris know where Winston is? Can Chris be talked into telling Agent Ward where Winston is?


Its a good story, slow at times, but finding Winston is told in flashbacks of their bicycle trip as they crossed the country from Kentucky to the Pacific Ocean.
