Clementine Hetherington and her robot brother, Digory, escape their orphanage to chase their dream of becoming archaeologists. When a mysterious benefactor saves Digory, they enter a perilous rally race to recover stolen artifacts. With no rules and fierce competitors aiming to sell the treasures on the black market, Clem and Dig must navigate danger and deception. Can they outsmart their rivals and honor their mother's legacy, or will the Ironwood Race prove too treacherous?

From the publisher

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. Clem and Dig want to follow in their famous archaeologist mother’s footsteps, but no one will take them seriously. 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! Clem and Dig hope to win so they can give the artifacts to a museum, but their opponents want to sell them on the black market. The Ironwood Race has no rules, and Clem and Dig might be in over their heads!
