Hang on to the wheel for the first of three adventures from a dynamic mother-daughter pair: beloved author Shirley Hughes and talented illustrator Clara Vulliamy. Digby O'Day and Percy are best friends. This daring canine duo can find adventure anywhere -- even entering an All-Day Race Digby is sure he can win, especially with Percy as his co-driver. But when the race starts and Digby and Percy are quickly left in the dust, it seems like they don't stand a chance. They meet peril after peril: a car that breaks down (and slides back to the edge of a cliff ), a near miss with an oncoming train, and worst of all, Digby's archenemy, Lou Ella, who is also in the race and will stop at nothing to win. In a day full of twists, turns, thrills, and surprises, anything can happen. Who will come out ahead? And will Lou Ella get her comeuppance?Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Shirley HughesPublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 08/26/2014ISBN: 9780763673697Pages: 128Weight: 0.65lbsSize: 7.10h x 5.20w x 0.70dAward: Nutmeg Book Award - NomineeReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 05/26/2014Kirkus Reviews 06/01/2014Booklist 07/01/2014 pg. 86School Library Journal 08/01/2014 pg. 72New York Times Book Review 08/24/2014 pg. 13Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 11/01/2014 pg. 159Shelf Awareness 09/30/2014Accelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 168906 / Digby O'Day in the Fast LaneReading Level: 3.9 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
