Cassica dreams of little her nowhere hometown of Coppermouth
and she knows that racing is her only way out; her best friend Shania just
wants to follow Cassica and be her mechanic.
When the pair are discovered by a talent scout, they enter the much more
physically and emotionally dangerous, cut-throat world of high-priced
racing. Both of the girls may be out of
their depth in more ways than one. They
aren’t even sure that their friendship can survive the stress, let alone if
they can survive their races.
Wooding’s book is a high-adrenalin rush to the finish,
hardly allowing a pause for the reader or the characters to catch a breath or a
break. I always enjoy adding a new book
to my racing collection.
