The Incredible JumpRoller Dragons

JumpRoller isn’t a game. It’s a brutal battle.

Only the best JumpRoller drivers survive long enough to win.

In an attempt to repair his friendship with Lux, Tucker Duncan strikes up a deal to be a driver for the JumpRoller Dragons. But this deal with team owner Topps, the richest Saurian in the Seven Boroughs, isn’t just a crooked one — it’s deadly. Because no amount of baseball or any other game back home can prepare Tucker for what passes as a sport in the Boroughs. With just two days to prepare for the upcoming match, Tucker learns winning isn’t everything — surviving is.
