Rated 5 starsno right turn is a great book
This book was one of the best books I have ever read. Jordan starts out as a very depressed kid. His dad committed suicide and he thought it was his entire fault.

And he just happens to own a 76' corvette stingray. Jordan was...

Rated 5 starsIntense and fast paced
When Jordan came home from school one afternoon, he and his dad had a conversation that was puzzling. Why was his dad apologizing? Later, when he heard the gunshot, Jordan knew that his father had killed himself. He still ran down and attempted CPR, but could not save him. Three years later, Jordan is 16 and still trying to avoid thinking about that terrible day. Everyone but him seems to be moving on. He's become totally...
