//Hover Car Racing Crash Course//    Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2005, 224pp Matthew Reilly This book //Hover Car Racing Crash Course// is a great book that I liked. The book is a prequel and I can’t wait to read the next one. Jason Chaser and The Bug are a hover car racing team. The Bug is the navigator and Jason is the driver. The Bug never talks out loud to anyone. He whispers to Jason and his mom and dad. Jason is just a normal kid but he is very protective of his younger brother. Jason and his little brother nicknamed The Bug are two adopted kids. Their parents are very nice and their father loves hover car racing. Jason’s father built him a hover car made out of old pieces of other hover cars, it was called The Argonaut. Jason and The Bug both got full scholarships to the biggest hover car racing school. They had a lot of homework and always had to practice. Jason never came in first place at the races but he always came close. There was a boy named Xavier who was a really rich, handsome, and an amazing hover car racer. He has come in first place a lot and if he didn’t then his teammate did. There was one race left and Jason needed to win it, first place or nothing. There is shortcut that is very tricky and people get lost in the shortcut and come in last. .oo5% of the people that go in the shortcut come out in first place. Jason might have to go through the shortcut to win or he might lose. If he wins, then he goes to the most important game of his life were scouts are looking for new pro racers. Can Jason get to that race or no? If you like action packed futuristic books, then this would be great book for you. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. It isn’t the best book I’ve ever read but it is one of them. I really enjoyed this book and I can see a lot of other people liking it too. If you want to find out if Jason and The Bug win the race then read this book. _
