Steve Tolman fears that he's in a world of trouble, when he borrows the family car to drive his friends around to a football game. His family his out of town, and the chauffeur is sick in the hospital. But the car broke down, leaving Steve stranded. He fears his father will be horribly upset with him. And worse, his friends all ditched him when the car broke down, taking off into town. Sara Ware's book is full of interesting facts about automobiles, steam engines, the history of the train, and steamboats. The book is full of railroad information, the train tracks cutting through all sorts of terrain, going from end of the country to the other (through plains, mountains, from the Pacific to the Atlantic). Bassett's book is fun, informative, and adventurous.
