100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith
“Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of
minutes. It’s how he makes sense of the world, and how he tries to convince
himself that he’s a real boy and not just a character in his father’s
bestselling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him: his best
friend, the possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia
Bishop, the first girl he’s ever loved. Then Julia moves away, and Finn is
heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road
trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected
accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening
detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to
write their own destiny.” –Jacket
