4.0
Fast-paced with minimal romance, this story features two small town girls on the racing circuit who get swept up into the reality-show-style major race in the big city. The prize is two tickets to a space station where they would be waited on hand and foot -- until they are voted off. Will Cassica and Shiara win those tickets? It's a long shot from the start, but grit and determination, great mechanical skills, and a willingness to push the limits should take them a long way.
Features bleak references to the armageddon of nuclear war that is now in their country's past, as well as some graphic descriptions of violence and death. The friendship between Cassica and Shiara is realistically depicted as it fractures and mends and they try to figure out what their goals really are.
