A high-tech race with Speed Racer

Speed Racer enters a contest built around an advanced artificial-intelligence car, despite not having the vehicle or credentials the race seems to favor. The setup pits his Mach Five against a rival’s heavily resourced operation, with Racer X, Speed’s friends and family, and an unusual supply of candy all part of the publisher-described adventure. The volume introduces younger versions of familiar Speed Racer characters and centers its action on competition, inventive resources, and the challenge of getting into a race stacked against its hero.

Book overview

In the tradition of Flash Gordon Adventures and Tiny Titans, Speed Racer Adventures is a brand-new story aimed at young readers, introducing them to young versions of the famous classic characters.

The best race car driver in the world has been invited to drive the most advanced artificial intelligent car in the world. Speed Racer is not that driver, and the Mach Five is not that car, but that's not going to stop him from entering that race and winning! When the world's richest man uses unlimited funds to build the most technologically advanced car in the world and hires Racer X to run a race he created, the deck is stacked against Speed Racer! It's not going to be an easy race, but with his secret weapons, his friends and family, Speed has a pretty good chance of getting in the race and winning, but he's going to hedge his bet by using a whole lot of candy! Come for the laughs, the hijinx, and the amazing speeds the cars reach. Go, Speed Racer, GO!
