About This Book
The beep-beep of the taxi horn fills the busy city streets as a bright yellow cab zooms by, but something's not quite right. Instead of turning where it should, the cab swerves the opposite way, dropping passengers in surprising spots. How will the confused taxi find its way back and make things right?
