Inspired by the traditional Malay spinning top known as the Gasing.
John Chow is in trouble. Sent away from his cozy home in Singapore, he unwittingly enters a top-spinning competition with a champion spinner. John can hardly spin a bottle, let alone the Gasing. Does John have the determination, nerve and skill to withstand the whirlwind training? Can he emerge as the champion, a true Gasing Boy?
The book includes a history section about the Gasing.
