Behind the Wheel: Poems about Driving

Learning to drive, crashing, being stopped by a cop, needing a ride, going to a car show, parents as air bags ("in your face") . . . Wong covers these and many more topics in 36 poems about driving as a metaphor for life. Readers will be reminded of their own crazy car-related experiences.

An ABA "Pick of the Lists" and an ALA/YALSA "Quick Pick for Reluctant YA Readers," this book is not your grandfather's poetry. A perfect quick read to inspire you to write some poems of your own--either for homework, a poetry contest, or just for yourself.
