(OMG! I'm the FIRST person to do a rating on this book!) I read this last year and I couldn't stop reading it! It's so full of detail with action at every corner! It's about this boy named Duff. He's driving cross country and picks up some trouble along the way. It's a really good book and I hope you read it!
