Fasten your seatbelt and take the wheel in this interactive picture book where you are the driver!

Do you have what it takes to win the race?

It's your turn to drive! Which racing outfit will you choose? Will you be brave enough to face the spooky shortcut? Will you think fast enough to melt the ice off the slippery road ahead?

Navigate through a scorching desert, over a bubbling lava pit, and through a scary cave using imagination and play to steer, shake, flap, and shout your way to victory!

Jump into the driver's seat in this interactive picture book adventure, inspired by Wacky Races, Mario Kart, and You Choose!

Her debut novel was a SCBWI Undiscovered Voices winner and longlisted for the Bath Children’s Novel Award. When not writing, she has been an actress, a cabaret singer and an electro-pop artist, performing on stage and composing songs for films and commercials. Raised in Birmingham and Yorkshire, she now lives in Paris with her French-Canadian husband and son.

After teaching illustration and working in the giftware and stationery industry, she returned to illustrating while teaching at the Watkins College of Art and Design. She enjoys creating quirky, silly characters in art full of colour and texture, and describes her work as “whimsically awkward and awkwardly whimsical”. Lauren loves eating sushi, and lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee.
