      Who needs sanity when you've got family? The title character of Elbow Grease (2018) and his family of Demolition Derby trucks return to face an all-new competitor. Once again, 'Bo is feeling inadequate next to his fan-favorite brothers. Despite Mel the Mechanic's encouragement--he's "the best at getting better"--he wants to be noticed. But instead, he notices someone unavoidable. Motozilla, the monster machine that turns trucks "into crunch sandwiches," is currently undefeated. Trouble is, you'd need a truck with an array of skills to take him down. Thinking fast, 'Bo makes the wild and somewhat improbable suggestion that he and his brothers join together to form a single supertruck. Will it be enough to take down this bully? Quips, jests, and teamwork are the name of the game as pro wrestler Cena improves on his writing in this second outing, which demonstrates that individual glory falls in the face of concentrated cooperation. Rollicking, radical art portrays the battle in all its gritty glory, mud and twisted metal galore. Human crowds show a diverse range of races and genders, and the trucks' keeper, Mel, has light-brown skin and wears glasses. Engines won't be the only thing roaring their approval when this book hits storytime. (Picture book. 3-6)
