Mixing Cena’s automotive affinity with the can-do spirit of “The Little Engine That Could,” “Elbow Grease” tells the story of a “little monster truck with a big problem” who decides to enter a demolition derby to prove his heart. The book is available for pre-order at Penguin Random House’s website, and will be available for release on Oct. 9.
Congratulations to Cena on his newest achievement!
