Race to Danger

Pokemon Chapter Book #13

by Tracey West

The Pokémon hot air balloon race is on. And the prize is a rare Dratini. Windy could have won-but Team Rocket took the wind out of her sails! Can Ash and his Pokémon help Windy blow off the competition? Between hail storms, Beedrill swarms, Weezing's Smoke Screen and Arbok's balloon-tearing fangs, the odds are against them. It's going to take a lot to win this race-but Ash won't let Team Rocket burst anyone's bubble.

This reissued illustrated chapter book is based on the classic characters found in Pokemon GO and the classic animated series on Netflix.

I Loved The Book Because I Love But Love Reading And I Love Pokemon . I Like Meowth, Dratini, Dragonair, Syther, Clefairy, Vulpix And Also Charizard. I Like The Balloon Race. I Think It Was Super EPIC! I Think Something To Improve Is To Add More Pages Because I Wanted To Continue Reading. I Really Really Loved The Book And I Recommend It To My Uncle Because He Also Loves Pokemon As I Do. I Also Recommend It To My Aunt Because She Loves Pokemon Too. I Also Like The Tittle Of The Book. I loved The Cover And The Things The Book Said, FOR EXAMPLE: (James) I Feel Like I'm Floating On The Air. (Jesse) You Are Floating On The Air Tworp! I Love Love Love But Love The Book! I Love Pokemon. So I Like Every Kind Of Book From Pokemon.

I think the most interesting part was when Windy won and got the dratini! (the prize for the hot air balloon competition) I was surprised when Ash and the gang beat the odds and won the race!

Just very meh. Ben really liked it, though.

Pokémon.

[Josias]

I would recommend this book to others if they like Pokémon
my favorite character was Ash because he has cool Pokémon
at the end of this book it was kind of predictable because Ash always wins

[Cassidy Cornblatt]

My 4yo enjoyed the story, but the writing is rather mediocre. Still fun for kids who like Pokémon.

High altitude hijinks

Three stars for the nostalgia factor! I first read this when I was about five or six years old, and it sparked a brief but memorable obsession with ballooning.

[Isaac Smart]

Really good book I absolutely loved it it was amazing

[Scott]

Brock returns to Ash and Misty, and they come across a balloon race. They join Windy to help her as her team was injured by Team Rocket. Adventure ensues.

[Jay DeMoir]

Focusing on fluency with my sons using pokemon is always a treat

[RiahsReading]

Another one of the stronger pokemon chapter books. I really loved how this book focused on one story, giving it plenty of time for the reader to get all the details.

[Sara Noemi]

The book was about a balloon race that Ash, Pikachu, and his friends play for a rare Dratini as the winner's prize but Team Rocket wnat that rare Dratini!Ashand his friend have to stop them.

I like the book because it was funny and interesting. Also I like that to Team Rocket they disqualified them.I will give 4 stars and a half because I didn't like that Team Rocket cheated to win just for the Pokémon prize for the race.Another thing that I like is that Windy win the race and she didn't expet it.
I will recomend this book to perssons that like Pokémon and now because I read the book I like more Pokémon.
