A good short book with quite a bit of detail but more could be added. As well it had had an interesting storyline with cool characters. plenty of action and an almost satisfying amount of adventure. Mason B.
This is a very fast moving story of the dangers of street racing. It will likely be popular with boys and reluctant readers in middle school and up.
OverDrive is about the danger of street racing. When two old friends are side by side at a intersection and when the light turns green they know first hand the danger of street racing.
