Bookroo's summary

In 1908, six daring teams embark on the first global car race from New York to Paris. As they navigate treacherous ice, towering snowdrifts, and dangerous bandits, the Americans in their Thomas Flyer defy the odds. Will they conquer the elements and their rivals to claim victory? This gripping tale of courage and adventure captures the spirit of an era when the world was a vast, untamed frontier.

From the publisher

In February 1908 six cars from four countries gathered in Times Square for the pistol shot that began the first around-the-world automobile race. This book tells the story of that race, a story of hardy pioneers crossing ice and snowdrifts and surviving bandits and near-drownings.
