10/10ths
A Young Adult Novel of La Carrera Panamericana
Andi Gazek, 14, a lifelong car nut & mini-MacGyver, finds the racer dad she never knew, and soon tricks him into driving the famous 2,500-mile vintage car rally race of Mexico--"La Carrera Panamericana"--with her. 10/10ths is a quirky, lesson charged, richly peopled, coming-of-age action adventure set in a contemporary car racing world full of high-speed hairpin curves and misdirection. For a Young Adult reader, it's a page turning dented ride to what being "family" means. (Pre-teen and older)
