Notes from the midnight driver / Jordan Sonnenblick.

After being assigned to perform community service at a nursing home, sixteen-year-old Alex befriends a cantankerous old man who has some lessons to impart about jazz guitar playing, love, and forgiveness.

Notes from the Midnight Driver I don't usually talk about the cover's on YA novels, not because they aren't worth mentioning, but because in my opinion the old adage of judging a book by it's cover is never more true than when looking at YA books. Notes from the Midnight Driver also features the re-appearance of Steven and Annette from Sonnenblick's first book, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. They're side characters in this story, but we get to see how they're doing, three years after the time of the first book.

Summary

16-year-old Alex decides to get even. His parents are separated, his father is dating his former third-grade teacher, and being 16 isn't easy, especially when it comes to girls. Instead of revenge though, Alex ends up in trouble with the law and is ordered to do community service at a senior center where he is assigned to Solomon Lewis, a difficult senior with a lot of gusto, advice for Alex, and a puzzling (yet colorful) Yiddish vocabulary. Eventually, the pair learn to deal with their past and each other in ways that are humorous, entertaining, and life-changing.Get torrent for mac.
