About The Book
In the tradition of Flash Gordon Adventures and Tiny Titans, Speed Racer Adventures is a brand-new story aimed at young readers, introducing them to young versions of the famous classic characters.
A brand-new, all-terrain road rally race is about to begin, and Speed Racer is revved to the max! Pops and Sparky have a fresh set of upgrades on the Mach 5, turning it into an absolute beast on the track. Victory feels like a sure thing—until a GHOST materializes out of nowhere!
The terrifying PHANTOM DRIVER is haunting the racecourse, sending chills down the spines of anyone brave enough to compete. Determined to get to the bottom of this supernatural sabotage, Speed and Trixie charge into the mystery and attempt to catch the spooky speedster.
What starts as an adventure where they don’t even believe in ghosts to the realization that every clue points to a shocking revelation: the Phantom Driver might actually be RACER X!
Has Speed’s enigmatic rival truly become a ghost? If so, how—and why? Or is a cunning rival driver using the perfect disguise to take down Team Speed Racer once and for all?
Buckle up…this race just got supernaturally dangerous.
