It's A OK book....
Book is a bit slow starting out - after about 5 chapters is finally got better. Not one of the best I've read by Peck. To me the name doesn't fit the book.

Poor 14 year old girl grows up in Indiana in 1914; auto history
One of the best coming of age stories for girls. Story is told in 1914 and has a lot of auto history in it, might appeal to boys too. LOVED this book and I am quite a voracious reader in my almost 50 years! I'm a school librarian and I recommend this book highly.

lots of facts on the auto industry in 1914. also the ways of life and variations of class are pointed out. i found it believable and humorous at points.

I was content with this book...
This book was iffy for me because I didnt visualize it in my head all that much but overall i thought that the sex, language, and all that other stuff was fine there was none of it!

I hate reading But I loved this book
I hate reading most books. I have turned to reading a certain authors literature. A friend suggested Richard Peck. If all of his book are this awesome I might actually start to like reading. This book is a good page turner. You never know what is going to happen next.
