Again I tried my luck with an audio book from the Motor Girls Series by Margaret Penrose.
The lack lustre voice no longer bothers me as I find myself concentrating on the world of Cora Kimball, her brother Jack, and their friends.
This is the second Motor Girls book I have read and this book talks about "The Motor Girls Club."
Cora's best friends are twins Bess and Belle Robinson which are described as opposites which would make them fraternal twins and are two of the girls in the Motor Girls club.
Cora's car is nicknamed the Whirlwind, The twins car is called the Flyaway and another of their friends car is called "The Turtle."
In this story the girls are involved in a mystery linked to a small disabled girl who is asking people to sign a "promise book." The promise is to keep an eye out for a desk that she believes holds a family will that will help her family.
Again the story is dated by the cars being such new inventions but the story behind it is good if you can overlook / or enjoy it from a historical perspective. Must say I love the social norms of the time and the delicacies of the feisty main character.
