Can a teenager afford a car? Even a cheap old one?Woody Ahern thought he could. He had a job after school, he had saved a little money, and, as he pleaded with his father, the main reason he and the other members of his car club wanted a car was so that they could work on it.Woody would get his car--for forty dollars. He named it Sidekick, and from the moment the thirteen-year-old wreck became his very own, Woody lavished on it all his love and devotion. He was sure that when it was done it would be the most beautiful car imaginable. He could even see himself driving Sandra to the spring dance . . . but it would take a lot of work before Sidekick was safe to drive. And before that work was complete Woody would come to learn a great deal--not only about cars, but also about human relationships and his own goals in life.Road Rocket captures the heart and soul of 1950s hot rod culture. The lean, mean story follows Ahern's hard-driving path to rodding redemption, riffs on some meaningful messages, and unleashes a fast and furious read.

At this sleepy school, even the drag racing fad was comparatively tame . . . until David "Outlaw" Galt transferred from Capital City High. Usurping Mike Revere''s position as the best boy with the best car-and stealing the girl who went with it-Outlaw set off a power struggle the likes of which Raccoon Forks had never seen. But Mike was willing to drive his way to victory, no matter the cost.Crash Club is another Felsen novel that captured the heart and soul of 1950s hot rod culture.
