Book Review By Brie
Driver's Ed by Caroline B. Cooney

It was a peaceful town, kids playing outside and hardly any crime, until three kids decided to have a little fun not knowing they were committing a crime. Remy, Nikkie, and Morgan decided to go steal some street signs just for the fun of it and because they stole it, an innocent lady named Denise Thompson died in a car accident. Now there is a heavy burden on their back because it is making headline news and the husband of Denise is threatening to kill whoever stole this sign. Morgan thinks of confessing but to make it even worse Nikkie is threatening to make the situation even worse by telling lie about how Morgan wanted someone to die. But Morgan still confesses and has to face his and Remy's parents being mad at them both but eventually is forgiven.
