Full Throttle Genius: Motion, Mind, and Mayhem
About
Wayne Wade was born in motion. Whether he’s racing a dirt bike, dominating the basketball court, or mastering a zero-turn lawnmower before most kids even get a learner’s permit, Wayne lives for momentum. But when he finds a strange mechanical part in his late grandfather’s garage, his world of wheels and balls takes a mind-blowing turn.
Suddenly, Wayne’s reflexes sharpen beyond belief. His custom mower surges like a dragster. He can predict the spin of a baseball before it leaves the pitcher’s hand. But these new powers come with questions—big ones. What is this strange device? Why did Grandpa Wade hide it? And who are the shadowy figures already hunting for it?
Joined by his best friend Michael Davis, a code-cracking, robotics-loving teammate, Wayne begins to unlock the secrets of the mysterious invention: a kinetic energy interface designed by an underground group of mechanical geniuses called the Velocity Circle. But this isn’t just a project—it’s a legacy. And Wayne might be the only one fast enough, smart enough, and brave enough to finish what they started.
As the boys dive deeper, they face high-speed chases, sabotage at school competitions, and a dangerous organization known as Vesta Labs—willing to do anything to control the device’s power. With pressure mounting and time running out, Wayne must use every ounce of wit, strength, and skill to protect his family, his friends, and the power of motion itself.
Combining action, real-world mechanics, thrilling inventions, and unforgettable friendship, Full Throttle Genius is a high-octane adventure perfect for readers who love racing hearts and racing wheels.
