Adventure Racing Books

There are not a lot of great books for kids. I think this one should be on every families library shelf. It in some ways would be good reading for schools to. The story of cars teaches lessons about coming around and helping others. What young person would not learn to give more of him/herself after reading this?

Really, it teaches following through on promises made, becoming and being a friend, the complete opposite of selfishness. Wow, don't we need to hear more of this?

Great book and does the movie justice. Cars is a very positive story with a great ending.

"Double Jeopardy" finds the Hardy Boys at the world-famous Indianapolis race track as student reporters covering the American Grand Prix for The Bayport Herald.
A long-simmering fued between the two top contenders breaks out into a free-for-all in which the Boys get involved.
Later one of the contenders wrecks his car, then disappears and his rival is blamed.
The Hardy Boys investigate and the trail leads them to a surprising conclusion!

You've seen the show, now read the books! NASCAR Racers #1: The Fast Lane is actually NASCAR Racers: The Movie (i.e. the episodes: "The Real Thing", "The Stakes", and "Heroes"), and it is excellently done. I highly recommend these books for every fan of the show, no matter what their age.

My son hates reading. I've tried getting him interested in reading for over a year now and FINALLY this book has done it! He started reading it as soon as he got it and didn't put it down until he was finished!

My students love these stories as it travels back in time. I love the stories as it has sparked an interest in history. Some of my students have gone on to read other historical stories.

If there's even an ounce of salt water in your blood, Jourdanes inside look at the grueling Whitbread Round the World Race will make your heart beat faster and your spine tingle. I started reading the book one evening, and found that I couldn't put it down until I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. Chris Caswell Senior Editor, Yachting Magazine

As a second grade teacher, I have been teaching my classes about the Iditarod Race for many years. Until recently, it has been difficult to find support for this wonderful unit of study. Shelley Gill has done a fabulous job of showing how this exciting race is the best example of integrated curriculum to be found. She covers ideas for all disciplines of study from mapping skills to science projects. She has captured the heart of the race and understands why teachers choose to teach the Iditarod. Her book will fill your classroom with wonderful hands-on ideas that are great fun to use and enrich the children's understanding of this exciting race.

This is a charming book with beautiful illustrations. It is a story of the childhood of Miss Ima Hogg, a beloved Texas philanthropist. This book will appeal to all children of reading age, and their parents. I look forward to more books from Margaret Mc Manis, who is sure to become a favorite children's author.

This book is about a boy named Kin Travis, who has just joined Waddy Peytona's pit crew right before the seabreeze 250. His Aunt Adrian has a serious problem, and has to collect $1,000,000.00 beofre her husband's gang destroys a painting.

You've seen the show, now read the books! NASCAR Racers #2: Taking the Lead comprises the episodes "Duck Out of the Way", "Co-Pilot", and "The Mission" -- faithful renditions, worthy of this great animated series. Both the show and the books are great for NASCAR fans of all ages.
