Illustrated by
Nate Wragg.
Five monster trucks prepare for a nighttime race. Suddenly, a "little blue bus" appears on the track "looking perky...and cute." The book goes beyond the simple underdog story, and the very end offers a clever Halloween-themed twist. Vivid colors and textures give the cartoony acrylic and digital illustrations a bold and lively look alongside the energetic rhyming text.
