A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Meet Jenna Boller, star employee at Gladstone Shoe Store in Chicago. Standing a gawky 5'11'' at 16 years old, Jenna is the kind of girl most likely to stand out in the crowdùfor all the wrong reasons. But that doesnÆt stop Madeline Gladstone, the president of GladstoneÆs Shoes 176 outlets in 37 states, from hiring Jenna to drive her cross country in a last ditch effort to stop Elden Gladstone from taking over his motherÆs company and turning a quality business into a shop-and-schlock empire. Now Jenna Boller shoe salesperson is about to become a shoe-store spy as she joins her crusty old employer for an eye-opening adventure that will teach them both the rules of the roadùand the rules of life. Joan Bauer lives in Darien, CT.

Quatrième de couverture :

'Jubilant, strong and funny, this is a road trip to remember'
Bulletin, starred review
Jenna is the star employee of Gladstone's Shoe Store - she finds the perfect fit for everyone who comes in. But Jenna's proudest possession is her driving licence because she hopes that one day it might help her escape from her family problems.
So when Madeline Gladstone, the elderly president of the company, needs a driver for the summer, Jenna grabs the chance to get out of town. The two make an unlikely pair but, behind the wheel on the road from Chicago to Dallas, Jenna learns more than she ever thought possible about the rules of the road - and the rules of life.
