Unfortunately, he had to leave his kart behind when he moved. When he races against Ryan Stone, Austin quickly learns that Ryan's the guy to beat. But how can Austin's rental kart compete with Ryan's shiny red kart? Austin will have to learn that the driver, not the kart, wins the race.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This story from the Jake Maddox Sports Story series, which aims quick, high-interest stories at reluctant readers, finds a moral in movement. A newcomer to the neighborhood, Austin blames having to use a rental go-kart for his losses on the track to the zippy Ryan. He comes to learn, however, that it isn't the kart that really matters and that teamwork benefits everyone. This double message might be piled on too thickly, but the basic writing style, with heavy repetition and emphasis on action, will help draw struggling readers along. For classroom use, discussion questions and writing prompts are included.-- "Booklist"<br>
