No Right Turn by Terry Truman

Three years ago, Jordan's father committed suicide leaving Jordan to find his body. Jordan refuses to address his grief and becomes zombie like. The only thing that brings Jordan out of his zombie state is his mother's new boyfriend's vintage corvette. Soon Jordan is taking the car for joy rides and finds himself involved with one of the most popular girls at school. Jordan is finally busted and forced to own up to his actions and face his grief. Terry Truman does it again! Jordan's voice is intense and captivating, your heart just breaks for him. This book will be a sure hit with reluctant readers- with its short length and gripping narration. The classic car aspect will also appeal to many teen boys.
