Kelleigh Monahan isn’t a bad girl; she just wants to go places. So what does a former good girl like Kelleigh do? She steals a car, of course. And then another. If Kelleigh’s behavior strikes you as a little out there, let’s just say that it definitely feels like the stuff of fiction. But if you’re interested in what turns a good girl into a rebel, or how teenagers in crisis deal with a whole lot of pent-up emotion, How to Steal a Car is a thrill-a-minute story of one girl’s summer of acting out—and the answers she does (or doesn’t) find in the process.
Genre: Fiction (YA) Jenny’s rating (out of 5 stars): 3 You’ll like this book if: You like joy rides and rebels. You won’t like this book if: You think that criminal behavior doesn’t make for a good story.
