Summary: Seventeen-year-old Astrid Sullivan belongs to a family of compulsive gamblers, and now that her father has been laid off from his job in Detroit and lost all their money betting on the Titans, which are half-horse, half car, and race around impossible tracks, her family is falling apart—but when Astrid’s new friends give her the chance to participate in this year’s Titan races, she thinks she sees a way to win some money and keep her family together.
