Sara likes to do absolutely everything fast. She eats fast, runs fast, and tries to finish all her projects in record time. When she decides to enter the big soapbox derby, she rushes to build her wooden racer in just a single day. But her need for speed backfires, and her hastily built car falls completely apart!
Her friend Ben is worried she will ruin her chances of winning the race. However, Sara is about to discover a secret scientific weapon: friction. By learning how moving surfaces rub against each other to create resistance, she realizes that she actually needs to slow certain things down if she wants her car to work perfectly.
Dive into this fun, kid-sized mystery where clever physics saves the day. Think like a real scientist, test out cool concepts, and discover why moving too fast isn't always the best way to win.
