YA
The lives of car-obsessed teenagers merge one Saturday night at Headwaters Speedway. Along the way, tensions build: Trace suspects sabotage on his street stock car, while Melody tries desperately to keep her dad's small-town racetrack in business. Short chapters featuring strong characters may draw reluctant readers, while the detailed car talk and exciting action will appeal to racing fans.
