Bookroo's summary

Farah, Isla, Mohammad and Sam visit a theme park with Mohammad's aunt to celebrate her new rollercoaster design, only to spot posters for a ride that looks almost identical. As readers hunt for clues in the pictures, a mechanical engineer explains how rollercoasters are built, what gravity has to do with it, and how to design the best first drop.
