Is It Worth Saving?

The Forgotten Race Car

By Mike Thames

Some stories start with a second chance.

When Connor and Hayden uncover an old wooden race car in Pop Pop’s yard, they see more than faded paint and crooked wheels. With race day approaching, the brothers and Pop Pop work together to bring it back to life.

A warm family adventure about teamwork, solving problems, and discovering what an old project can become.
