The Go-Kartastrophe — Caron Pescatore

A go-kart accident. A driver claiming innocence. A boy who is convinced his best friend is at fault.

Eleven-year-old Luanna Porcello has just finished her first case with the Kids' Court. Now she and best friend, Phoebe Chen, are looking forward to some quiet time relaxing by the pool. But with Greg Foster and Declan Mathias engaged in a shouting match next door, the girls' hope for a quiet afternoon is shattered.

Greg is furious over the destruction of his prized go-kart. He blames best pal, Declan, and demands that he pay for the damages. But Declan refuses to pay, insisting it was a defect with the go-kart that caused the crash. Worried the boys are about to ruin their friendship, Luanna convinces them to take their case to the Kids' Court.

As she delves into the case, however, Luanna discovers that defending Declan won't be as easy as she thought. After all, he was driving the go-kart at the time of the accident. How can she possibly defend him against that?!

Join Luanna and the Kids' Court as they embark on their second case and try to figure out the truth about who, or what, is to blame for the go-kart accident.
