How to Steal a Car

(2) YA Suburban teen Kelleigh chooses a unique subject for a school essay: how to steal a car. Even more unexpected--she's writing from personal experience. Hautman's charismatic first-person narrator recounts a convincing tale of a good girl stumbling upon her wild side; the story's suspense rises with each heist. Subtly drawn supporting characters, including "nearly perfect" parents, give Kelleigh's exploits texture.
