Lauretta doesn't want a plain old 5- or 10-speed model when she goes looking for a new wheelchair. In fact, she insists on the 92-speed wheelchair! When Lauretta gets a speeding ticket on her one-day tryout, her parents insist it be returned to the store immediately?until Lauretta's brother has an accident and the only one who can get him to the hospital in time is Lauretta — in her super-fast, amazing wheelchair! The reusable, clear vinyl case keeps the cassette and book neatly stored and features a re-fastenable snap on the back for easy use.
