Overdrive

by Leslie Waller

Meet Johnny, a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, who aims no higher in life than a world of cars, drivers who race them, and mechanics who know them inside out. And meet Audrey, beautiful and blond - and very rich! So what can a garage mechanic with grease under his fingers - even a wizard like Johnny - offer the town's richest and most beautiful girl? Nothing, thinks Johnny. A lot, thinks Audrey, and tried to show him. But trying to help Johnny is like trying to pet a porcupine.

I read this book when I was in grade eight and loved it.
