(4) YA Charlie's ex-best friend, Jake, convinces him to go on a road trip in a stolen car to visit Charlie's estranged father. The end of the road leads to a confrontation between the boys that results in (somewhat jarring) violence. The characters' unpredictable behavior makes for an otherwise entertaining narrative.
