Joyride is the first of many Beantown Pals stories. Bucky and Betty break Chief Spark's rules and take Laddie the Fire Truck on a wild ride through Beantown. Peer pressure prevails, promises are broken, Beantown's citizens are upset, and lessons are learned along the way.

Beantown Pals is a children's storybook series. The two main characters, Bucky and Betty live in the fairytale village of Beantown, a world inhabited by descendants of Jack's magic beans. The residents ride and race in motor spoons, live in fear of Jack's Giant, and battle the forces of good and evil that wish to destroy their little village. Fun loving Betty and serious, responsible Bucky are often at odds but remain the best of friends. Every adventure contains thrills, chills, and laughter. Without each other, life would be a bore.
