A dangerous rally race… and archaeology?! Clementine Hetherington and her robot brother, Digory, have run away from the orphanage they’ve been living in since their parents died.

Their chance arrives when a man from their past saves Digory’s life, and to repay the debt they enter a multiday rally race… to recover stolen artifacts!

The Ironwood Race has no rules, and Clem and Dig might be in over their heads!
