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.
FYI:
While this is the second book in the series it could be read as a
stand-alone.
