"VROOM! Barry, Kari and the Power Boost!" by William G Wilberforce III. An interesting book, a motivational book to read. Talks about Barry admired how good and fast Kari could be in skating. Barry fails so many times but never gave. His friend fast Thomas his power boost has been supportive and always encouraging never to give up. Consistency is the the key, no matter the failure, no matter how tough the going could be, never give up. For failures are lessons that are learned in life. Congrats on your #BOTD.

"If you don’t keep trying, you’ll never be good at it. A saying goes, “practice makes perfect.” Work hard at it, and you’ll ultimately achieve your goal, no matter the timing."

I admire how Fast Tommy stood by Barry to actualize his passion of running as fast as Kari.

Usually, we need just a push to reach enviable heights. Fast Tommy was there to give Barry the needed push. You never know you're good at something until you give it a shot with consistent training.

Thank you for the review. It was awesome.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting children's story following a bunch of kids who racing each other and trying to beat each other. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Absolutely perfect review! Even though it is about a children's book, it is still very thorough, interesting, and engaging. It does an excellent job of capturing adult attention, which is needed for the book to be purchased for younger readers. I love how it highlights the major lessons to be learned from the book and how they're relevant for all ages. Everyone needs motivation from time to time!

The story is really good for it's all about friendship. When you have friends, the real ones, you're really going to help them no matter what it takes especially when it comes to their safety or for their own sakes. Might as well recommend this book to my siblings to read. Indeed a very great book

This was a super cute book. If my littles were still little, I would definitely grab this one up! I feel like it had a lot of great lessons, and it hit an important one about having a positive mindset. I loved the illustrations. It was a fun and fast (no pun intended) read! Thanks so much for sharing this review with us!

The reviewer rightly highlights the importance of friends like Fast Tommy, who are there to offer support when we're on the verge of giving up. These friends are the ones who motivate us to prove doubters wrong. The vibrant illustrations and the anticipation of the upcoming race add an engaging dimension to the story, making it even more appealing to young readers.
Sincerely,

My 10 year old enjoyed this short story.

He said he understood the morals and enjoyed Barry's learning experiences.

But....
All characters should be named.

I do believe the suggested age range should be 4-8 as suggested in your review.

Barry has always wanted to run as fast as Kari, so one day he decided to try it. Unfortunately he fell and everyone made fun of him. Embarrassed, Barry promises to never try and fail again. Luckily, Barry had some friends at his side supporting him in his training.
