Dear child, what is that goal you’ve been aiming at? It could be being good at skating, drawing, sports, science, mathematics, etc. Every time you attempt it and fail, your friends laugh at you. You feel ridiculed and demeaned. 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.

Barry always admired Kari’s speed. She could run so fast and leave a cloud of dust behind her. Barry always wondered if he could be as good as Kari. One time, he put on some skates and tried running. Unfortunately, he fell with a thud! Everyone watching roared with laughter.

Embarrassed, Barry woke up and decided never to try again. Luck was on his side because Fast Tommy was observing him. Fast Tommy approached him and offered to support him with the skating. Barry was more than eager to embark on his training. The first few days of training proved to be problematic. Barry nearly gave up, but Fast Tommy encouraged him to keep going! A race is approaching in two weeks, and Barry is determined tooth and nail to succeed. Will he?

I enjoyed how Fast Tommy was there for Barry when he was on the verge of giving up. Fast Tommy represents the friends we need to keep close. They’re the buddies that are with us through thick and thin. Barry was determined to win, and his friends’ mockery fueled his motivation. In the back of his mind, he wanted to prove them wrong.

The pictures of Kari, Barry, Fast Tommy, and the rest were lively. The racing day was even more intriguing to see. I award the book 4 out of 4 stars because I found nothing to despise. Further, I detected zero grammatical flaws. Thus, it is professionally edited. I recommend VROOM! Barry, Kari and the Power Boost! by William G Wilberforce III to kids between 4 to 8 years old.

We can always turn negative energy to our own advantage, especially when we have good hearts nearby to encourage us. Fast Tommy is such an ideal friend and companion. Barry is such an epitome of determination and resilience.
