The Tin Snail by Cameron McAllister7/8/2023 It's intended for middle-grade readers but people of all ages will love it. What follows is a madcap tale of adventure and magic. the Nazis must never find the prototypes or the designs - despite the best efforts of a German officer intent on discovery. The Tin Snail must face a perilous journey - to carry a farmer and his wife, a flagon of wine and a tray of eggs, across a bumpy field in a sleepy French village without spilling a drop or cracking a shell - and then go into hiding. And its inventor is just 13 years old! But WWII is about to break out and France is about to be occupied by the Germans. It looks a bit odd and is nicknamed Tin Snail but this is a car for the people: functional, reliable, affordable. A wonderful new car has been unveiled: the Deux Chevaux or 2CV for short. It's France at the 1938 Paris Motor Show. Based on truth but with a sprinkle of magic, this is a fun story for every reader. Summary: High-spirited story of the creation of one of the first "people's cars" - the CV2.
