Drive Me Crazy

A tween rivalry-turned-friendship story bursting with humor and heart—perfect for fans of Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.

Lana and Cassie have met only once before, at the wedding of Lana’s Grandpa Howe and Cassie’s Grandma Tess two months ago.

It’s going to be a disaster.

Told in alternating chapters between Cassie and Lana, Drive Me Crazy shows that even though friendship can be a bumpy road, it just might change your life for the better.

Buckle up . . .

Lana and Cassie have met only once before, at the wedding of Lana's Grandpa Howe and Cassie's Grandma Tess two months ago. They didn't exactly hit it off—in fact, depending on who you ask, that first meeting was either an embarrassment or a disaster—but they're about to spend an entire week together, just the two of them and their honeymooning grandparents, road-tripping in Cassie's grandmother's Subaru.

Lana thinks a summer road trip sounds like fun, but the backseat is a crowded place for two twelve-year-old girls with two huge secrets to hide, and this bumpy road to friendship is full of unexpected twists and turns. Like it or not, they're in this together, full speed ahead on the adventure of a lifetime.

“A trek across the continent evolves into a journey of personal growth in this affecting book.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Two very different girls in a car together with show tunes and wacky pit stops plus lots of desert make for a pretty sweet friendship story. Steer this towards fans of Lisa Graff’s Umbrella Summer and those drawn to books with plenty of heart.” - Booklist

“A lighthearted road trip story with a lot of middle school appeal.” - School Library Journal
