Mace Blazer is the world’s hottest TURBOnaut — he drives and flies faster and takes more risks than anyone else out there. When he suffers a near fatal accident, however, his confidence is shattered. Can he overcome his fears and race again? It seems his racing career is over until he discovers two of his best friends have gone missing, and there’s a seriously sinister plot behind the whole thing.

This is the second book in the TURBO Racers series, and fans of the first won’t be disappointed with this sequel. It is fast paced, includes a lot of action, and the ending leaves room for a third book. Recommended for 4th grade and up.
