 A wheel-y interesting adventure for kids Feb 27, 2008
By Amanda Richards
The first in a planned series of children's chapter books, this is the story of Trent, a brave little turtle on wheels, and his two best friends, Jesse the squirrel and Mina the kitten.
A twist on the usual fantasy/adventure stories, this one is the animal equivalent of the "two boys and a girl and a wise old Uncle" theme, where the young characters face a supremely evil being who's up to no good, thereby proving themselves and bringing out their inner strengths.
The quest begins here for the recovery of three statues, and involves Egyptian tombs, the majestic spirit of a sand lion, a really bad guy and a cast of fiery minions.
Told in simple age-appropriate language, but requiring a little editing, this one is a well-presented quick and easy read for the eight to ten age group.

 Excellent children's adventure! Feb 03, 2008
By D. Grant
"Debi"
This book a great read, really fun and entertaining! Three school friends, Trent, Jesse and Mina, come across a mysterious ancient statue that leads them on an adventure bigger, and older, than anything they could ever imagine. If you like animals, adventure, ancient history and of course racing, you'll love Trent the Racing Turtle. Older kids can read the book on their own, or it is good as a bedtime story for younger children, one chapter at a time. The characters are all very lovable, and the author is also a 3D animator who has created amazing 3D versions of each of them.

Imaginative and Well Written Jan 11, 2008
By W. Meens
Trent the Racing Turtle is an imaginative and well written book filled with interesting and creative characters. What a great read. Not like anything else out there. My kids loved reading about Trent, Mina and Jesse! The characters were full of life and the story had a great message. I have read it to them at bed time several times and they have read it on their own. I recommend this to any parent who wants a great adventure book with a good story and a great message.
