Buy ONE LAST RIDE Here!
("[ONE LAST RIDE] manages to address personal and social issues that prove timeless. Elish has crafted a nuanced and perceptive story of a boy on the cusp of teenage-hood that is likely to resonate with older children and young adults. A sensitively written, bittersweet homage to that moment in childhood when it becomes time to grow up." Kirkus Reviews)
