Description of this Book

Lightning McQueen is a hotshot rookie racecar, driven to become the youngest car ever to win the coveted Piston Cup Championship. When he does, the fame, money and groupies he's been dreaming of will finally be his. But when the high-octane contest ends in an unprecendented three-way tie, McQueen jumps on the interstate towards California where a tie-breaking race will determine the ultimate winner. When McQueen's impatience causes him to get separated from his driver, he gets lost and panics. Alone, he struggles to find the interstate and tears through the forgotten Route 66 town of Radiator Springs, demolishing the town's main street in the process. With the race just days away, McQueen is arrested and forced to slow down for the first time in his life. His sentence: to repair the road he has destroyed before he can leave. McQueen's detour into dusty old Radiator Springs introduces him to a life beyond trophies, fame and sponsorships. As he gets to know the town's offbeat characters he learns the importance of teamwork and friendship and discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line. When McQueen's old life catches up with him, he is challenged to reconsider the car he wants to be. In an action-packed finale, McQueen discovers what it takes to be a true champion.
