When Chris Collins and Winston Coggans take off on a post-graduation cross-country bike trek, Chris's hopes are high. He's looking forward to seeing the country, dodging a dull summer at a minimum wage job, and having one final adventure with his oldest friend. The journey from Hurricane, West Virginia to the coast of Washington state delivers all those things . . . and more.
So much more that when Chris returns home without Win at the end of the summer, he's certain their 10 year friendship is all but over. But when an FBI agent begins asking questions-and raising suspicions about Chris-he learns that saying goodbye to a friend like Win is never as simple as riding away. Shift offers an adventure story and a missing persons tale spinning around a single question: What happens when you outgrow your best friend?

It's book launch time again on the Class of 2k8 blog. This week belongs to Jennifer Bradbury, debut Young Adult author of Shift. Her publisher has already bought the second book!

Without giving too much away, let me just say that Jen is interesting, Very interesting.

Like she and her husband took a two-month long honeymoon to bicycle from Charleston, South Carolina to LA, California. I won't tell you how many tires they changed! Like she's been on a certain game show hosted by a certain Alex Trebek! Like while she was in India on a Fulbright Teaching Exchange, she wrote Shift. Uh, yeah, India!

Read an excerpt from Shift on Jen's author page on the Class of 2k8's website.
