Crunch by Leslie Connor

4.0

Very interesting premise- there is no gas, and suddenly a tiny bike shop becomes a much more important business. I enjoyed the positive feeling of the book, the plot twist was pretty well done, and I really loved the family. They worked together, worked hard, and didn't give up when things got bad. They watched out for each other and those around them. Lots of positive messages in the book. Appropriate for younger readers, as "heck" was said once, it was mentioned that he cursed, but words were not actually in the book, and there is no romance side of the book. Overall, I really enjoyed the book (only took one night of insomnia to read it) and was very satisfied with the ending. A little cheese-mo? Yes. Did I care? No.
