Roadside Assistance: 1 -- Amy Clipston

<p>A very bumpy ride. Emily Curtis is used to dealing with her problems while under the hood of an old Chevy, but when her mom dies, Emily's world seems shaken beyond repair. Driven from home by hospital bills they can't pay, Emily and her dad move in with his wealthy sister, who intends to make her niece more feminine--in other words, just like Whitney, Emily's perfect cousin. But when Emily hears the engine of a 1970 Dodge Challenger, and sees the cute gearhead, Zander, next door, things seem to be looking up. But even working alongside Zander can't completely fix the hole in Emily's life. Ever since her mom died, Emily hasn't been able to pray, and no one--not even Zander--seems to understand. But sometimes the help you need can come from the person you least expect.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Amy Clipston<br><b>Publisher:</b> Zondervan<br><b>Published:</b> 04/23/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.58lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.55h x 5.55w x 0.79d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780310719816<br><b>Age Range:</b> 13-16<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 11<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade Plus<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>144224 / Roadside Assistance<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 03/28/2011<br><i>Library Journal</i> 04/15/2011 pg. 78<br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> 04/01/2011<br><i>Booklist</i> 05/15/2011 pg. 47<br><i>Voice of Youth Advocates</i> 06/01/2011 - Recommended
