To Read

Samantha drove the car that killed her dad. Convinced she was spared for a reason, the 16-year-old dedicates her life to becoming what her dad always planned her to be, a racing champion. She convinces the owner of a Formula One team to take a huge risk on her.

Manny doesn't like to make waves. His uncle owns the racing team, but the crew tease the boy like one of their own. Even the team manager orders him around like an intern. But that's okay. The boy loves racing and dreams of one day designing his own racing cars.

But then Samantha came into his life. That spirited American girl who can make a 720 horsepower race car dance on a track. That girl who's not afraid to tell the team boss to go kick himself. That girl who fights for a place on the team and never quits.

She's amazing.

But Ferrari legend Emilio Ronaldo isn't impressed with Wolert Porsche's new "experiment" in racing. He's an eight-time world champion. The best of the best. This man will not let a teenage girl take away what's always been his.

Winning the championship will make Samantha a legend.

Losing will prove to the world that girls don't belong in race cars.

Skid is the first book in a young adult racing series that features well-developed characters, an amazing plot, and a strong heroine with spunk. If you like a character-based novel full of action with a sweet and believable relationship, then you'll love the first installment in Doug Solter's totally original series.

For ages 13 through Adult.
