Fielding might one day catch on to what was happening. Remy was the Distraction Princess, because even Mr. She jumped up so fast, she knocked her books on the floor, tried to grab them, and tripped over Taft’s extended legs. She didn’t have to exchange a name tag after all. “Remy, Christine, and Morgan will drive with me today.” He didn’t look at them, because he never looked at them. Poor Christine held her shiny name tag in her lap, ready for Remy to snatch up. Next to her, Christine prayed not to drive today or ever.
(The first, of course, was her future driver’s license.)

Remy Marland crossed her fingers and prayed to the God of Driver’s Education that she would get to drive today.

What Janie Saw (an ebook original short story) “Difficult to put down for its intensity.… Wonderfully written, and very realistic.” “A poignant, realistic novel, with nicely drawn characters.” “A wrenching, breathlessly paced plot and an adrenaline-charged romance make Cooney’s latest novel nearly impossible to put down.… This modern-day morality tale is as convincing as it is irresistible.”
