Come along for the ride as Matthew's truck navigates treacherous terrain — then parks for the night in its own special spot beside Matthew's pillow. VROOM! Matthew's truck likes to go places! It ZOOMS up hills and tumbles down cliffs, again and again (watch out at the bottom of the stairs!). Matthew's truck can splash through dangerous lakes, steer through crooked streets, and sneak under shadowy bridges. Good thing there's an excellent driver like Matthew behind the wheel!
Author
Katherine Ayres is the author of ten books for children and teenagers. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA where she teaches writing to graduate students and Chatham University. At age 19 she appeared on the TV show, To Tell the Truth—as a liar. "It was good practice for becoming a fiction writer," she says. "These days I have to make up stuff all the time. And I like it!" Then, as now, Ayres was a convincing story spinner—members of the panel believed her impersonation as young readers believe and enjoy her characters today.
