This book is a fast-paced, daring adventure about a girl in a wheelchair named Amy Taylor who loves cars. After begging and begging, she gets a new motorised wheelchair as a replacement for her old, dusty one with a damaged wheel, and asks her inventor friend Rahul Agarwal to make the new wheelchair even better.
Just wait until you see what he does with it...

This book was really funny - I like how Jack becomes less sarcastic as the journey goes on. My favourite bit was at the end, where Amy beats her dad and his colleagues!

It was a fiction book. I liked Rahul best because he sometimes looked at the bright side of things.It interested me by how Amy loves cars! I would recommend it to a friend because me and him like most of the same things.
