The Car -- Gary Paulsen

Neglected by his parents, fourteen-year-old Terry Anders is used to taking care of things on his own. He even manages to assemble a car kit by himself. When the car is finished, Terry sets off from Cleveland to Portland in search of an uncle he barely remembers. Along the way, he is joined by a wise Vietnam vet who turns his journey into an adventure in learning. <p/><strong><em>Each book includes a reader's guide.</em></strong> <p/> <br><br><br><b>Author:</b> Gary Paulsen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clarion Books<br><b>Published:</b> 11/01/2006<br><b>Pages:</b> 192<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.90h x 4.40w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780152058272<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-17<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 6<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>10290 / Car<br>
