Bookroo's summary
Twelve-year-old Tony steps into the fast-paced world of TAG kart racing, where he must compete against seasoned older racers. As he struggles with losing for the first time, an invitation from rival Jon raises questions. Is it a genuine offer to help, or a setup for humiliation? With speed and pride on the line, Tony must navigate this high-stakes track both on and off the raceway. Can he find his footing and prove himself, or will the pressure of competition leave him in the dust?
From the publisher
Tony is used to being the best. With his old kart, he won every single race. But now he’s twelve, and he’s moved up to the next class of racing, TAG karts. Sure, he gets to drive a cool new kart that goes faster than anything he’s ever driven. But he has to race against kids three years older than him, who aren’t nice to him, and who have been driving TAG karts for years. How is Tony supposed to get used to losing? And when Jon, one of the older kids, invites him to practice, is Jon just setting Tony up for more embarrassment?
