WWE superstar John Cena to write books for children

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star John Cena plans to make his debut as author with the release of a new line of children's stories published by Random House Books for Young Readers. According to portal, Female First, the series will follow the lives of a boisterous family of monster trucks named Elbow Grease, Pinball, Flash, Crash and Tank.

The first book - 'Elbow Grease' - will centre around the first of the trucks, who is smaller than his four brothers but on a mission to prove that he has the guts, grit, and gumption to do big things. "With 'Elbow Grease' and the books to follow, I want to offer kids a fun and engaging way to learn about the power of ambition, dedication, and heart. These concepts have been transformative in my life, from my childhood up to now," he said.
