Saturday Night Dirt: a Motor Novel (Motor Novels) Reprint edition

It?s a sizzling summer Saturday, and Headwaters Speedway is suddenly the place to be. Thanks to rainouts across the state, this small-town dirt track is drawing big-time stock cars and local drivers. First up: Trace Bonham in his Street Stock Chevy that?s sure to be a winner, if only he can figure out why it?s acting up. Next is Beau Kim: his Modified is patched together from whatever parts he could scrape up. And on the outside, moving in fast: Amber Jenkins, a strawberry blonde who has what it takes to run rings around them all. Keeping everyone on track is Melody Walters: she knows that the impending rain might be exactly what they need to keep her father?s speedway afloat?or sink it for good. Saturday Night Dirt is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
