About the Book

OKLAHOMA SHAKE is Bo Rush's latest sports fiction book for middle grade readers. The intense sports action is sure to appeal to any youngster who loves sports, whether or not she/he typically enjoys reading. Like all Bo Rush books, OKLAHOMA SHAKE uses sports to celebrate diversity and inclusion, grapple with important life lessons, and reaffirm important values like courage, determination, and friendship. 12-year-old Guthrie Gore's life is upended when her mother dies while training for a triathlon. Guthrie is uprooted from her home in Oregon's "City of Roses" and sent to an Oklahoma oil town that is the "Small Earthquake Capital of the USA" -- and the home of Norman C. Moore, Guthrie's cardboard cutout father who hasn't seen her since the day she was born. The coach of the Oasis High cross country team notices Guthrie's running ability and selects her as a last-minute replacement for one of his injured runners -- even though she's only in 7th grade! Not only does Guthrie help the team win their first-ever county championship, she qualifies for the state meet! Teammate Bethany Bixby, a three-time state runner-up, helps Guthrie prepare for the state championship by racing up steps in the school gym. Their final workout ends when a 6.8 earthquake destroys the old gym and nearly kills them both. Remembering the life lessons she learned from her mother, Guthrie overcomes struggles at home and on the racecourse. She discovers that, even when life knocks you down, great things can happen if you get back up and keep running. How many times can a kid get back up when life keeps knocking her down? In OKLAHOMA SHAKE Guthrie Gore answers that question -- and inspires all of us!
About the Author: As a boy, Bo Rush loved to read sports stories. In fact, he refused to read anything else. That singular passion resulted in proficient reading skills -- skills that transferred to other genres when Bo was in high school and college. For the last two decades, Bo has taught Language Arts in Colorado. Every year, Bo sees students who avoid reading. They start and quickly abandon books others are reading because of the level of difficulty or unappealing subject matter. That's why Bo wrote SOCCER BUGS, BOBBLEHEAD BEATDOWN, BASKETBALL BROTHER, OKLAHOMA SHAKE, and SOCCER SIDEKICKS -- for kids who love sports but don't love reading. He wants to spark that love of reading in youngsters, particularly those who are struggling to find the right book. Learn more about this great sports book series at borushbooks.com.
