When Elbow Grease takes on Motozilla, which truck will come out on top?
At the demolition derby, Elbow Grease and his brothers, Tank, Flash, Crash and Pinball are all best at doing different stunts. But when the trucks hear about Motozilla, the undefeated champion who's more monster than truck, will they be able to work together to take him down?
Inspired by John Cena's own childhood experiences growing up with four older brothers, this is a power-packed story showing what teamwork and elbow grease can really do.
There are heaps of funny moments during the story kids will enjoy, such as when Tank sends a car flying by smashing it with his butt.
The talented illustrator Howard McWilliam has also filled the book with heaps of cool pictures, especially when Motozilla makes his big, fire-breathing entrance.
If you have a truck-obsessed kid in your house, this book will be perfect for them. There are three stories featuring Elbow Grease so far, and this is the second.
Overall, this is another high-octane ride from a bestselling author, and an absolute must for kids (and kids at heart) who love big machines.
