Description

Jake and his friends are a wildcard entry in the most famous race in the solar system— the Rocket Battles.

Beating champion racers is not going to be easy.

Review

In the next instalment of the new Jake in Space adventure series, Jake and his friends Rory, Skye & Milly team up again.

This time they are in a race - The Rocket Battles. But they are the underdogs as they won a wild card entry to compete after their efforts to help the CIA (Central Intergalactic Agency).

When their cyborg friend Henry makes an appearance at the beginning of the race, they know something is up. But they don’t know what or how serious it really is.

This story is full of action and mystery and is a great read for your middle level readers, both boys and girls.
