      Cover

      CHAPTER ONE

      A giant ThunderTruck rumbles down a rocky road. Its engines roar.

      When the ThunderTruck spots a deep bog, he puts pedal to metal.

      WHOOSH!

      When the ThunderTruck sees a boulder no one can budge, he hooks up his ultra-strong winch. With a tremendous tug, he pulls until the rock lets loose.

      CRUNNNCH!

      When he sees a rocky cliff that no one has climbed, the truck zooms up it with MAXIMUM

      Then the super-size truck blares, I am Hercules — mightiest truck ever built!

      SCREEEEEECH!

      Just then, Hercules squeals to a stop outside Poly-D’s Repair & Salvage Shop. The mighty vehicle is surprised to see other ThunderTrucks
