Small town dirt-track racing
One thing I liked about this book was the diverse group of racers and people involved with the raceway. You get to see into the lives of a few different race car drivers and teams as well as into the lives of several of the people who work at the raceway. The entire book takes place between noon and 8 p.m. on a Saturday night.
Genre: realistic fiction
Audience: people who like cars and racing; boy appeal
Topics: northern Minnesota dirt-track racing, girl race drivers, racing accidents, Father/daughter business, tough times, Indian reservation, Iraqi war vet, sabotage, choir, street stock, osprey, super stocks, modifieds, late models, mechanics, small towns
Mrs. Beckwith's rating 4 of 5
Cautions: a few instances of swearing, but overall, no worries
