Charlie Manx has the coolest car: a 1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith. AIl the kids love it, especially its NOS4A2 vanity plate. Coolest of all is when they get to ride in it, down the street and far away. Goodbye home, goodbye family.

Those kids are Charlie's children now.

And now, twenty-five years later, he's got his sights on Vic's young boy. He's going to make sure a McQueen will be with him for ever . . .

The story itself is great, but there is a problem with the presentation. The final few sentences of each chapter are routinely 'chopped off'. Whether this is the fault of my platform- an Xperia Z3- or how the book has been scanned is unclear. Have tried deleting it and downloading it again without success.

Really liked the story but it did drag on a bit towards the end. Also, as is probably intended, I didn't like the main character, so unfortunately I didn't care enough about her, which I think is needed for the reader to care about the outcome of the story. But still better than most other stories of this type.

Having really enjoyed other books by Joe Hill, I wasn't sure initially whether to read this one as the descriptions I'd read didn't appear that appealing. I thought I'd give it a go though and wow, what a story! Expertly crafted and woven together, with a great heroine whom you really root for. Brilliant! PS some readers have commented on the layout thinking there's a problem - there isn't: some chapters end with the heading of the next chapter overleaf (ellipsis to show this might have helped, I guess).
