Finn has never been on a cruise ship before, much less stowed away on one. He's never impersonated a fairy tale character, sought lost treasure or gotten to know his real dad. Annual visits to family in Germany are normally highlighted by skateboarding, playing soccer with cousins, and getting spoiled by his grandparents. But all that is about to change when a mysterious foreigner hands Finn his father's diary. He and best friend Burrito embark on the pursuit of his previously unknown inheritance -- a fortune in Nazi Gold. About the author Serena Schreiber's writing career began with a vanity press publication in Brooklyn, New York (1973) of first grade student prose and poetry. Since then she has owned a web design firm, a boat charter company, and taught in a school computer lab, writing blogs and web content for each. She is a member of Florida Writers' Association.

Are you the next Kimi Raikkonen? Nearly every Formula One race car driver gets his start in karting. Read this exciting story about kart racing and you'll be in the driver's seat at the Monaco Grand Prix. Greg Taylor, author of Killer Pizza, said, "I felt like I was hanging out with my best buds while reading Finn's Car. Fifteen-year-old Finn and his friends are that enjoyable, that much fun. My recommendation? Hop aboard, strap on your seat belt and leave the driving to Finn. Fast cars (of the go-kart variety), mystery, a touch of romance and Florida-to-Monte-Carlo adventures await!" From soccer field to race track, from design software to driver's seat, from Palm Beach to Monte Carlo, Finn competes to win—the race, the fame and the girl. Like most teenagers, Finn doesn't always feel like a winner. He fails his driver's test and fails to impress the girls. His shot at victory arrives when his teacher announces, “Our semester project will be to take a gas powered kart and combine it with an electric motor to build the fastest possible, fuel efficient, hybrid go-kart in the world.” Burning rubber with Finn at 60 mph, you'll share the thrill of racing against top German and Japanese teams at home and at the Monaco Grand Prix. Faced with sabotage and corporate espionage, Finn asks himself, how far will he go to win? Finn's Car is the exciting standalone sequel to the award winning middle grade novel, Finn's Ship, by Serena Schreiber.
