This was a really great book and it kept me entertained but I feel like there was a bit too much going on for it to be really cohesive.

In fact, all the children are flawed and there’s a lot of growing up to do along the way; there are lessons to be learned. But their passion for racing isn’t as straight-forward as it seems, and when they clash with the Junkers – space-dwelling junk salvagers – the skills they possess will be required in a life and death fight with a junk bomb and a vengeful mob that would gladly watch it wreak devastation. Im not quite the target demographic, (besides it was the cover design itself that attracted me to the book, never underestimate the power of visual draw, good design and an exciting palette. I especially loved the idea of the drone races, as it reminded me a little of the Jinxed duology, and I felt like the world was really well fleshed out.But this routine Railey has with him and her Gran suddenly changes when they are chased by a Runner and the girl realizes that Atti is way more than just a pilot. I loved the fact that she was fearless and so very sarcastic yet adorably awkward when it came to showing any kind of affection.

RAILEY BRUSHED HER HAND ALONG ATTI’S BACK AND HE FELT A LITTLE STEADIER - JUST LIKE THE RACES - THEY WERE IN THIS TOGETHER. Gemma Fowler’s world-building is exceptional, and her version of Earth has echoes of Blade Runner, Wall-E and Star Wars.

Rescued by a couple of Junker kids, they discover a danger bigger than anything they’d imagined – but can three kids, a gecko and an ancient computer save the world against the huge trash bomb (and its power-crazed creator) threatening to destroy the world? Some parts were confusing and I felt like a few of the characters could have been fleshed out more (Care) but it's an enjoyable enough story and something I could imagine reading with my daughter in the future.
