A teenager has to summer in rural Wisconsin with grandparents he barely knows. His grandfather keeps them busy by restoring an antique race car like the one his dishonored father drove in the 1927 Indianapolis 500, believing it might redeem the old racer.

Extended description

Fourteen-year-old Kevin Johnson is forced to summer in rural Wisconsin with grandparents he barely knows while his parents try to salvage their marriage. Kevin expects boredom but instead finds the opposite. Adding to his excitement is the beautiful pianist next door. But he pledged his heart to another and must be true.

Luckily, Grandfather has a busywork project to occupy his time and his thoughts: restoring an antique race car like the one driven by his great-grandfather in the 1927 Indianapolis 500. The finished product might actually help mend their broken family. Kevin also has plans to rendezvous with his girlfriend, but a crisis changes his life forever.

Review by: claus olsen on Jan. 20, 2013 :
A coming-off-age novel. Young Kevin Johnson has to spend summer vacation with his almost unkown paternal grandparents, while his parents try to heal their relationship going to Costa Rica on a medical mission. A lot of secrets from the past is revealed and love is emerging between Kevin and his cousin Desiree C.
