Excerpts

Dream Machine CHAPTER 1 What a Dream! Rrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . Bella Diaz stepped on the gas. The engine roared and the race car zoomed forward. Beaming happily, Bella adjusted a knob on the dashboard. She had designed and programmed the race car herself! Bella loved anything to do with computers: programming, coding, and beyond. And she'd always dreamed of being able to program her very own race car! She gripped the steering wheel with her purple leather racing gloves as she sped down the race track and into a tight turn. Just then a light flashed red. Warning! Warning! Oh no! She had taken the turn a little too fast. Bella spun the wheel, leaned hard, and . . . THUMP! Bella opened her eyes. She was on the floor next to her bed, twisted up in her blankets. For a moment she was completely confused. Then she realized what had happened. Whew, what a dream! Her heart was still racing, thinking about flying around the track. And thinking about that amazing car. She untangled herself and stood up. Glancing at her alarm clock, she saw that it was still early. Well, I might as well get up, thought Bella. I could grab a few more minutes of sleep, but there's no way I'd have a dream that awesome again! Excerpted from Dream Machine by Martha Maker All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
