Wheelboys is the emotional, action-packed debut novel from Dd Jaseron, and winner of both the 2020 Readers’ Favorite medal for Fiction - Social Issues and the 2020 eLit Book Award for Popular Fiction. Tragedy, love, and unintended consequences change everything for three families one summer in Blue Springs, Alabama.

Chad Gibbons and his best friend, Gary Lee Dillanger, have worked their way through the ranks of competitive go-karting with the legendary Kilgore racing family. Monroe Kilgore and his wife Uma see their racing world very differently, and Uma is haunted by it. Chad is pursuing the opportunity of his lifetime to become a professional auto racer, but the fast and luxurious world of racing is not as it appears. Tragedy strikes, and Chad is left to find his own way. Elle Dillanger struggles with criminal charges against her son, Gary Lee, and the truth about his tragic accident unfolds as the detectives investigate.

More than a coming-of-age story, this book challenges society’s complacency with the exploitation of youth and questions adult and corporate responsibilities. The journeys faced by these three families are universal and resonate for any reader: overcoming grief, finding one’s path, and discovering love.

Extraordinary and Different Characters to Love

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 13 janvier 2020

Achat vérifié

When following Gary and Chad’s story, you get something so outside the realm of normal and in the best way. It’s a close interweaving of friendships gone awry, seemingly unavoidable accidents, and love. Even if you’ve never heard of competitive go-karting or have read anything covering the Southern states, it’s well worth a read.

I greatly enjoyed that the book started right in the middle of things. The background that you need as everything moves forward is delivered in an excellent narrative without weighing down the book at all. I took this one down on a weekend afternoon, it’s not necessarily a short read, but it’s something that I had a really hard time putting down. Everything here is so relationship-driven that I was happy to pick up the tidbits of knowledge that I didn’t go into the story knowing already.

There were a few parts that were a little cheesy, but it definitely didn’t take away from the moment. If you’re looking for a good and quick read with excellent characters, then give this book a try.

A poignant look at the need for speed...and the consequences

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 22 janvier 2020

Achat vérifié

The need for speed is ingrained in a number of families: the Dillangers, the Kilgores, the Gibbons. At an early age, Gary Lee Dillanger learned to drive a go-kart, slowly but surely making his way through the ranks so he could get into the competitive scene. As he and his friend Chad Gibbons are positioned to graduate and pursue their dreams, tragedy strikes. A car accident places Gary Lee in a coma and kills his girlfriend. His mother must contend with charges being brought against her son that he was responsible for the accident. But was he?

Additionally, the Kilgores, the legendary racing family, also have secrets of their own. The need for speed, fame, and fortune haunts the wife. Her husband becomes obsessed with his need for more...speed, fame, and money. But at what cost?

This is a poignant look at the need for speed and the consequences that go along with it. There’s depth, humor, love, and tragedy all rolled into one. I eagerly sped through the pages to reach the end, and I was glad I did. It’s a worthwhile read that’s great for just about everyone.

You've never seen go-karting like this before

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 25 janvier 2020

Achat vérifié

Wheelboys is certainly an interesting book as it takes a look at a rather specific group of friends. Chad and Gary are best friends who are working and competing with each other in competitive go-karting. I personally never got into the topic of competitive go karting and had never seen the world illustrated in such a dramatic light. It is full of drama, confliction, and competition. Anyone who was raised in a sports household can really appreciate it -as these themes are not something unique to the competitive go-karting world and one can easily project these lessons into other parts of their lives.
Full of fun, tragedy, and even a little bit of romance -anyone can enjoy this non-conventional drama. This is not something for someone looking to read about an action-packed story full of sports. Rather, it is meant for someone who is more interested in a look behind the scenes and the emotions that come with it.

You're free to choose your actions, but you're not free from the consequences of them.

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 26 janvier 2020

Achat vérifié

“Wheelboys” by Dd Jaseron was recommended to me by a close friend. I’ll admit, I wasn’t keen on reading it as it didn’t seem to be my type of book, but I trusted their opinion and am glad I did. The book is geared towards young adults but touches on themes that are appropriate for anyone past their childhood. Our protagonist, Chad, wants to become a world-class racer, but when his best friend, Gary, ends up in a tragic accident, he has to rethink everything he knew about his dream field. Gary hasn’t even graduated high school yet and now has criminal charges against him because he was driving the car that crashed and killed his girlfriend. From there, the book delves into the ripple effect of consequences that come from one person’s choice to be reckless. It doesn’t just affect the decision-maker, and this book does an incredible job of proving that point.

Dramatic Action-Packed Novel

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 5 janvier 2020

Achat vérifié

Wheelboys by Dd Jaseron is a coming of age fiction book for adolescents and adults of all ages. The pages of this book are definitely packed full of action but there is also a huge emotional component to this all as well, especially after the tragic accident of one of the characters, Gary. This book revolves a lot around car racing and the adrenaline that comes with it as well as the danger. I do believe there is an important lesson to learn from this novel, especially when it comes to teens racing. This book shows exactly the tragedy that can come from being irresponsible and reckless. The writing is very good, and I would say it is very dialogue driven text, which I liked. It makes it easier to connect with the characters. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to any adolescent or adult who enjoys dramatic action-packed books.
