Reviews

[Lorie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is great to have in a classroom library. It appeals to boys who may be reluctant readers. Although, there are many girls who enjoy this true account of what it is like to become a NASCAR driver. It would lend itself well to a timeline activity or event chart.
