"Driver's Ed" by Caroline B. Cooney follows the story of 16-year-old Lucy, who is eager to obtain her driver's license. When she begins driving lessons with her classmates, the excitement quickly turns into a tense situation as they navigate not just the challenges of the road but also the dynamics of teenage relationships. As secrets surface and peer pressure mounts, Lucy finds herself caught in a web of drama and danger, culminating in a life-altering incident that challenges her perceptions of responsibility and the value of life. The novel explores themes of maturity, friendship, and the consequences of choices made in a high-stakes environment. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
