Meet Clarence, a rickety old truck who goes from average to awesome when an unexpected trip through a mysterious truck wash transforms him.

With pumped-up tires, a revved-up engine, and a squeaky-clean exterior, Clarence becomes a town hero! In his first adventure, Clarence—aka "Mighty Truck"—pulls a friend from the mud, rescues a kitten, and stops a loose beam from destroying Axleburg.
