Review: London Racer by Joe Vercillo



Genre: Coming of Age/Action-Adventure

Description:

“Princeton and the gang are back in this action-adventure sequel to Age Six Racer. When their best friend, Charlotte, goes missing, Princeton, Troy and Juice go out on a mission to find her and end up in London, England where an underground war is raging between rats and mice.”

Author:

“Joe Vercillo is a Canadian singer-songwriter/author from Toronto, Ontario. Stumbling upon the love of his life, he journeyed down to Princeton, New Jersey, and found a dead mouse in a garage. The rest is history.”

Appraisal:

London Racer chronicles the continuing adventures of the mouse named Princeton and his rodent buddies. As with Age Six Racer, the first of this trilogy, I’m surprised at how easily I bought into the premise of these pests as intelligent and caring beings. This story is full of adventure, with wars, international travel, and a literal rat race all playing a part. Throw in a little romance to make Princeton seem even more human and the result is a quick, fun change of pace from my normal reads.
