Your first car is always the best. And your first trip is unforgettable - even when it doesn't go exactly to plan.
 
WHY I CHOSE THIS BOOK "This story has the pace of a rocket ride. Told squarely through the voice of the young narrator, it has the depth of a novel, and a lovely dry wit." Publisher Julia Marshall
