Are you bored out of your mind?
Sick of your friends and family?
Wish you were somewhere (anywhere) else?
Some girls might start drinking or doing drugs. Some girls might act out by sleeping with guys. Some girls might starve themselves or cut themselves.
Not Kelleigh Monahan.
She just steals a car every now and then.
It starts innocently enough. A guy drops his keys in the mall parking lot, and instead of returning them, Kelleigh takes his car for a spin. Then she takes another car... and another... and another...
In How to Steal a Car, National Book Award winner Pete Hautman takes teen readers on a thrilling, scary ride through one suburban girl's turbulent life—one car theft at a time.
