And now Sydney is back with another incredible middle-grade read, RACING THE CLOUDS, an impactful & honest story detailing drug abuse, family trauma, and friendship. I read RACING THE CLOUDS - cover to cover - in one sitting - it’s that good! RACING THE CLOUDS is an impactful & meaningful 10/10 story that deserves a special book review.
