Reviews / Votes
"[A] love song to rescue vehicles in cold, remote places." -- Kirkus Reviews "Gall's storytelling is as muscular as the rigs he celebrates: precisionist-style renderings continually move around and over the scene to satisfy the curiosity of truck aficionados, while detail-rich, matter-of-fact prose honors their enthusiasm and knowledge." -- Publishers Weekly "Dynamic illustrations bring readers along for the ride, as our narrator-guide confidently explains each step of the rig rescue process." -- Horn Book MagazineMore details
