I found myself re-reading passages just for the sheer pleasure of it. The book is filled with literary and beautiful language as well as a very astute understanding of what it means to be young, and on your own in a world that can sometimes brutal and preoccupied.

There were several instances in which I held my breath because it is a real page-turner. You’ll find yourself wanting to get to the end of the book to find out if they succeeded in building a rocket car that really works!
