Jenna Boller is the best employee at her branch of Gladstone's Shoes---she can sell anybody anything. But her family problems are harder to solve, and there are times when Jenna wishes she could just get out of town and take a break. So when Madeline Gladstone, the elderly president of Gladstone Shoe Stores, hires Jenna as her driver for the Summer, Jenna leaps at the chance.
And that begins a cross-country adventure from Chicago to Dallas, where she and Mrs. Gladstone learn a lot about the rules of the road, and the rules of life.
Great young adult book, discussing real issues.
