Danny Says
Pete Hautman is an author you NEED to read, and not just because he won a National Book Award. His novels always say something, and they guide readers effortlessly into worlds that may seem absurd yet familiar at the same time. I enjoyed this book for its female protagonist’s decline from joy rider to certified car thief, which is just a canvas Hautman uses to paint teenage angst. A book that middle schoolers, in particular, can easily identify with.
