About this book

Engines are humming, flags are waving, and the starting line is buzzing with excitement — the Great Race is about to begin! In Turbo and the Great Race, a determined young racer and a trusty little car named Turbo zoom around hairpin bends, splash through puddles, and rev up steep and winding hills in the biggest race of the year. But when a fellow racer skids into trouble, our hero faces a tricky choice: speed on to win, or stop to help a friend in need. Through twists, turns, and a thrilling dash to the finish, the story discovers that winning feels good — but kindness, fair play, and good sportsmanship feel even better. Fast-paced, cheerful, and packed with vroom, this is an exciting adventure about determination, teamwork, and doing the right thing even when it is hard. And because the book is personalized, the daring driver behind the wheel of Turbo is your very own child — the champion of a race made just for them.
