Review
As this graphic novel was only 95 pages this will be a short review. In the third volume of Goldie Vance, we follow along as Sugar asks Goldie to help her figure out who is sabotaging her during races. I’m honestly really loving making my way through this series, the volumes are super fun to read. So, this volume focused quite a bit on racing and as a motorsport fan, I found the plot really enjoyable. Once again my favourite aspect of this was the characters, Goldie is such a fun and determined character and I have to say I also liked the development of Sugar’s character throughout this volume. The art style changed a little in this and while I like it, I do prefer the old art style.
Overall this was a fun YA Graphic novel with an entertaining plot and some interesting character development.

So much suspending my disbelief for a story, but I don't know what I expected from a fun little graphic novel. I'm hoping for a bit more in future volumes. Still a lot of fun!

After a shaky Volume 2, we're back to mystery awesomeness.

This series is so much fun and I’m always surprised by just how high the stakes get.
