Hit the Road by Caroline B. Cooney
Sixteen-year-old Brit
is illegally driving her grandmother Nannie and two other elderly women to
their 65th college reunion. To arrive at their destination, Brit has to improve
her driving, keep her parents from finding out what she and Nannie are up to,
and give constant updates on her cell phone to her various friends and Coop,
the boy she has loved for ages but who has blatantly snubbed her. Coop becomes
suddenly interested in Brit and her cross-country caper involving a kidnapping
of one of the elderly women. Brit has to confront the grown son of the
kidnapped woman in a final showdown, but along the way she learns some valuable
lessons about growing up and growing older.
OR
Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson
After
being convicted of viciously beating a classmate, Cole Matthews elects to
participate in Circle Justice, an alternative sentencing program based on
traditional Native American practices that results in his being banished to a
remote Alaskan island where he is left to survive for a year. He has an
encounter with the Spirit Bear that leaves him wounded and gives him six months
of healing time to reconsider his options. While trying to accept
responsibility for what he has done, his pride, pain, and anger get the best of
him, and he knows that he has to learn to control his anger before it destroys
him.
