CHAPTER ONE

THUNDERJAM 3000!

Tires screech!

Exhaust fills the air!

VROOOOM! VROOOOM!

Inside a giant arena, a sellout crowd of monster trucks revs their engines with excitement.

A new truck named Theseus parks among the fully fueled fans. He’s there to watch the annual ThunderJam 3000!

Every year, the biggest, loudest ThunderTrucks on Earth compete in three death-defying events.

Next up, an announcer roars, "ten-time tire-jumping champion… PERSEUS!"

The crowd flashes their high beams with delight. The sky-blue ThunderTruck rolls to the starting line. His custom, winged paint job glitters in their headlights.

Without delay, Perseus puts pedal to metal and speeds toward a ramp.

FWOOOOSH!

The high-flying ThunderTruck soars over a long row of flaming tires. He lands safely on the other side with a massive THUMP!

Ninety tires! the announcer booms.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
