The Fast and the Furious gets a futuristic twist in this action-packed debut!On corporately controlled Castra, rally racing is a high-stakes game that seventeen-year-old Phoebe Van Zant knows all too well. Phee’s legendary racer father disappeared mysteriously, but that hasn't stopped her from speeding headlong into trouble. When she and her best friend, Bear, attract the attention of Charles Benroyal, they are blackmailed into racing for Benroyal Corp, a company that represents everything Phee detests. Worse, Phee risks losing Bear as she falls for Cash, her charming new teammate. But when she discovers that Benroyal is controlling more than a corporation, Phee realizes she has a much bigger role in Castra’s future than she could ever have imagined. It's up to Phee to take Benroyal down. But even with the help of her team, can a street-rat destroy an empire?

From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—Phoebe Van Zant's mother left her and her father, a legendary street racer, to fend for themselves on the planet Castra when Phee was very young. A few years later, her father mysteriously disappeared, and Phee was taken in by a caring family. Now 17, Phoebe hasn't been able to shake the thrill she also gets from racing, and she is blackmailed into racing for Benroyal, a very powerful corporation. It's not long before she discovers Benroyal's powers reach farther than any corporation should and there are plans for expansion. At the risk of losing her best friend, Bear, she and her new pacer, Cash, work with other undercovers to overthrow the corporation's stronghold on the government and the people of Castra. In this science fiction novel, Martin has fashioned a universe of planets created, built, or otherwise funded by corporations that rule society and the government, although the invented slang can slow readers from understanding it fully. The fast pace continues throughout the story, as races unfold, secrets are revealed, and readers get to know Phoebe, a snarky, strong-willed, female heroine whose ability to read people well is her saving grace. Filled with new technology, political motivations, and action-packed racing scenes, this book will appeal to fans of the Fast and the Furious movies as well as readers of dystopia. VERDICT A good science fiction novel with a likable protagonist.—Stephanie DeVincentis, Downers Grove North High School, IL

Take Need for Speed.Throw in some Elysium space business.Add a dash of tough girl meets secretive boy.A little bit of a three-wheeling best friend with his heart on his sleeve.A hint of Mario Kart in a dystopian world.A heaping serving of PLOT TWIST!Now, set all that to a Foo Fighter’s soundtrack.Out comes Tracked.And I love it.I’m not a big fan of Nascar and I’ve never seen any of the Fast & Furious movies. But I did play the hell out of Mario Kart and Need for Speed. So I knew just enough to be stoked for this book. And I’m so glad I gave it a go!There wasn’t a single time while I was reading where I felt bored or uninterested. I was quickly sucked into the Phee’s world of high speed racing. All the little secrets she uncovered and the lies she discovered. (these Dystopian books are always about overthrowing the government, aren’t they?)Phoebe is a strong girl, rivaling the gusto of Tris from Divergent. I loved her will to do whatever it takes just to help her family; her best friend Bear.Bear. He reminded me of Groot. I was expecting him to start refereeing to himself in third-person many times. I wish his character had been vamped up some more. I felt like he was mostly just there to interfere with Phee and Cash.Cash. Oh, boy. You can’t go wrong with a charming prince, can you? He was funny. He was sweet. He was the sexy pacer we all needed and didn’t even know it.I loved the banter between Phee and him. I longed for their times together.And maybe that’s what I loved most about Tracked.It does not revolve around the romance. It’s about family and loyalty and finding out what really matters in life. Staying true to yourself and fighting for what’s right.An adrenaline fueled, character driven adventure of a novel. Tracked is the book that you won’t want to miss this year.Review found on yabookscentral.com
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Unpredictable Thrill Ride By Julie Oh man guys. This. Freaking. Book.A friend of mine read this book and absolutely adored it. She insisted I read it ASAP and challenged me to tell her it wasn't amazing. I couldn't do that. It would've been a lie.I read TRACKED shortly after my last semester ended. It had been a ROUGH semester on me and reading was a hit or miss activity. Books needed a lot to hold my attention and I couldn't put this one down. I was tearing through the pages. With YA, you generally have a decent grasp of how a story will work out because we all love our happy endings, but I wasn't sure what a happy ending would really mean for Phee and I certainly had no clue how she would get to it. So I couldn't put the book down because it would mean not knowing for a longer amount of time and that was unacceptable.I loved Phee. She was so genuine and loyal to herself and to those she loved. She was clever and badass. She just had this amazing energy to her that was magnetic for me as a reader. I could read a million stories about Phee - prequels, sequels, alternate universes, I'll read them.I also loved how skillfully Jenny Martin handled the relationships in this one. You guys know I'm a sucker for characters and relationships and this one had both in abundance. I fell in love with Cash and he had amazing chemistry with Phee, but it was Bear and Phee's relationship that I loved to watch. It was complicated and messy and I was totally enamored with Bear - but kind of the way I was enamored with Gale. I don't wanna say too much more for spoilers, but man was it gorgeously built and Jenny really balanced the two relationships SO well.There was also the really intricate world building. It's a futuristic sci-fi, so it's going to inherently require a lot of work. Then Phee is also a race car driver and, let's be real, how many YA readers are car experts? So now Jenny has to teach us about this world and cars. And on top of that, there's a very delicate political balance that comes into play and Phee is completely stuck in this complicated system, but I was never confused. Everything made sense and was well paced. It just really blew my mind how well laid out this very complex world was, especially for a debut novel.TRACKED hit all the right notes for me. Amazing main character, incredibly well built relationships, fantastic world building, and just the right amount of romance for the main character's personality. This debut was unpredictable, astounding, and has me pretty damn desperate for book 2 and everything else Jenny Martin puts out after.

I haven't read too many books that involve cars and car racing and Tracked was the perfect book to get me introduced with cars i By Kaitlin Tracked has been a book I have been meaning to get to for so long and I honestly wonder why I held it off for so long. I haven't read too many books that involve cars and car racing and Tracked was the perfect book to get me introduced with cars in the YA world. I loved the dystopian-ness of this book and also the plot and it's twists and turns that came with it. Dystopian readers who don't mind a touch of cars in their reads will definitely enjoy Tracked.When I went into this book, I was so excited to read about all the different characters that are already mentioned in the synopsis (and definitely the ones that weren't!). I love her determination when it comes to racing cars (and winning). I could really tell she loved doing what she did and that made reading this book so exciting because not only did she love racing, girly was great at it! Bear and Cash are two great characters and I would honestly love to be their friend. One guy you hate but grows on your over time and the other is, well like a teddy Bear. (HAH GEDDIT. BEAR? TEDDY BEAR? YEAH? No? okay...) Both characters were a joy to read about and I can't wait to read more about 'em!The plot is probably one of my favorite things about this book. Phee get's whisked away from her street rat life to race for this huge company and then she discovers Benroyal is not everything she has thoughthe would be and now she has this huge secret. THIS IS WHY I WANTED TO READ THIS BOOK. Such an interesting plot and I always wanted to know more about what was going on because there was always something going on and more info to find out! This dystopian world was pretty awesome as well. Hopefully Jenny will do a bit more world development in the next book because from what I have heard, it's prettyyy awesome. The ending was something I love as well because it set up Marked (book 2!) very nicely and I have an idea of what will happen!The one tiny thing that bumped my rating down was how awkward I felt about the dialogue got at some points. Overall, it was great but there were a few spots where I felt kind of awkward reading because the dialogue seemed kind of stiff and unrealistic.I gave this book 4.5 stars because I really enjoyed the characters and plot but the dialogue was a little bit awkward and stiff at some points.Full review: http://next-page-please.blogspot.com/2015/12/lets-talk-tracked-by-jenny-martin.html
