Summary: "Rules of the Road"
Comment: I read this book because my friend recommended it to me. I picked it up and didn't put it down until I had finished it. The story follows Jenna, a teenager who not only sells shoes, but is happy doing so. Jenna is asked to be a driver for the summer for the finnicky owner of the chain of shoe stores she works at. Jenna is taken on a road trip learning about driving, shoes, and life in general, as well as learning to deal with her alcoholic absent father.
I was touched by this book. It is told in such an honest manner, you couldn't help but feel like you not only knew but were friends with Jenna. I was entertained by Mrs. Gladstone, the elderly owner of Gladstone Shoe Stores.
I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.

Summary: Rules of the Road review
Comment: The book "Rules of the Road" by Joan Bauer is a book for everyone. You see heartache, laughter, and disappointment through the eyes of this young women, Jenna Boller. Jenna is a wonderful shoe salesperson. Jenna's job is more then just selling shoes it's connecting with people and helping them. After working in this one shoe store for quite a while she gets forced into the trip of her lifetime. Spending most of her summer driving the owner of the store to Texas, this means leaving everything and everyone who she knows and loves. Can Jenna make it through? You will have to read and find out. I have not enjoyed and book for a while as much as I enjoyed "Rules of the Road." I laughed at all the jokes that Jenna cracked about the situations that she was in, and I cried when she counldn't get out of them. When you read the book you really feel like you are going through everything that Jenna goes through right along with her. I was pulled into this book right away. After you read "Rules of the Road" you will have a different view on life seeing how brave and wonderful Jenna is. I recommend this book to anyone that loves to take a great book and really live it.

Summary: Rules of the Road RULES!!!
Comment: Rules of the Road is book about a teenage girl finding her place in life. Jenna is a tall, lanky girl, who works at a shoe store named Gladstone's. Mrs. Madeline Gladstone, the owner, is threatened by her money-hungry son, Elden, who wants to take over the buisness. Mrs. Gladstone, needs someone to drive her to Texas, to stop him, and keep her company. After observing her work, Jenna is the perfect candidate to drive her. Once Jenna accepts Mrs. Gladstone's generous offer, and becomes her personal driver, things start falling apart at home. Jenna's father is an alcoholic, and has made Jenna and her family live through hard times with him before the divorce. Jenna needs to get away from problems at home, and a road trip to Texas is the perfect exit. The journey's experience teaches Jenna, and the reader determination, courage, and friendship. This book didn't only make me laugh out loud, and make me never put it down, but it taught me that friendship has no age limits. Jenna and Mrs. Gladstone are the perfect example of that. I think this book would appeal to anyone who likes sarcastic humor, continuous plot, and characters they can relate to.
