(4) YA After Iowa-native Simon steals his father's car to find his birth parents in Texas, he picks up an Elvis impersonator, two homeless men, and an attractive young woman along the way. Set in 1979, this emotionally rocky road story relies too heavily on predictable plot turns and glosses over Simon's strained family relations back home, but a strong forward motion and some sharply drawn characters make it memorable.
