Rules of the Road
Overview & Summary
Sixteen-year-old Jenna Boller, working at a shoe store to support her family, is unexpectedly hired to chauffeur the store's elderly, sharp-tongued owner on a road trip to confront corporate schemers trying to take over the company. Along the way, Jenna gains confidence, confronts her own family's struggles with her father's alcoholism, and forms a genuine friendship with her unlikely traveling companion. Joan Bauer's novel blends humor with a warm coming-of-age story.
