Two teenagers in love and insane journey across the United States in this Bonnie and Clyde-like adventure pursuing a warped American dream where Elvis is still king and the corn dog is the backbone of this great country. There is a typo on page 14. Other than that this book is perfect. -Bill Callahan He told her he was a one-woman man and she was it for him. Teal said that was good because he was it for her. It and It. Both of them were It. Kody Rawlee Green is stuck in juvie. Tella Teal Cartwheels Carticelli is packing her bags for Rome--on the orders of her parents who want her as far from Kody as possible. But teenage love is too strong a force for the obstacles of reality. And the highway beckons. Leaving their abusive pasts behind them in Jersey Kody and Teal set off on a cross-country road trip equal parts self-destruction and self-discovery making their way one stolen car at a time toward bigger wider bluer skies. Along the road of course there's time to stop at Graceland classic diners a fairgrounds that smells of pony shit and kettle corn and time for run-ins with outsize personalities like the reincarnated Grand Canyon tour guide Dead Bob and the spurious Montana rancher Bill Gold. On their heels all the while is Teal's brother Neil Carticelli who's abandoned his post in the navy to rescue the sister he left behind. But does she really need saving? These all too American tropes find new expression in Bud Smith's own freewheeling prose-and in Rae Buleri's original illustrations-filling Teenager with humor poetry and a joy that's palpable in every unforgettable sentence.
