From Booklist
Gr. 7-12. Here's a novel that really sneaks up on you. The dust jacket calls to mind paperback horror fiction, but the teenagers in this provocative investigation of moral responsibility don't turn into vampires or go berserk and attack their classmates. They do, however, cause a horrible death. Driver's ed class is pretty much of a joke. Mr. Fielding zones out when he's in the school car, and he's never sure who's behind the wheel. Even so, Remy Marland thinks driver's ed is great. It gives her a chance to hone her driving skills (by taking other people's turns) and to moon over Morgan Campbell. Morgan also likes driver's ed. For him, it's the perfect place to read car magazines, look at girls, and moon back. When the two agree to a nighttime escapade to rip off some street signs, their hormones and the thrill of the risk get in the way of their judgment. The subsequent death of a young woman, killed at an intersection from which they stole a stop sign, profoundly tests their feelings for one another and their ties with their families. The substance of the novel develops rather slowly. It's prefaced by some wry, irresistible scenes that replicate the exquisite tortures of high-school crushes while setting the stage for the tragedy. Then, with graceful ease, Cooney slips back and forth from Remy to Morgan, to give readers a glimpse of the different ways the teenagers handle their nightmarish burden and their families'--especially their mothers'--reactions. A poignant, realistic novel, with nicely drawn characters and a vintage metaphor that's actually refreshing: a driver's license (not first sex) is the "ticket out of childhood." Stephanie Zvirin

From Kirkus Reviews
``If the parents only knew'' is the theme of this story of teenagers caught in the tragic results of a thoughtless prank. Remy Marland and Morgan Campbell are attracted to each other in Mr. Fielding's driver's-ed class, where the teacher is so oblivious and disinterested that the students can swap identities to satisfy their needs to be more or less frequently behind the wheel. Remy and Morgan then remove a stop sign, which results in a fatal accident that kills a young mother. Guilt-ridden and afraid of the consequences to themselves and their families, they finally reveal their secret and must face the victim's husband and child. Cooney relies on psychological tension rather than on plot to capture her readers and is less successful here than in the more gripping The Face on the Milk Carton (1990). The story is told alternately from Remy's and Morgan's points of view in prose that is often too stylized; but the anguish of the characters, both teens and adults, is compelling. Remy's troublesome brother, Mac, is the hero here as he articulates the need for parents to love their children unconditionally. Some unresolved issues yield an unsettling ending, but teens will identify with the ``it could happen to me'' aspect of the story. (Fiction. 12+) -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I thought that this book was pretty good until it got to the point of Remy and Morgan falling in 'love', it was pretty boring at times, but a lot of the sequences were very accurate in that sense, but I feel that this has already been done before. I've heard this type of scenario many times. A lot of teenagers do really stupid pranks without really realizing what could happen. They are immature and don't know how to grow up. The road is a very serious subject and I think people should think more about what they are doing, it's a continous loop affecting one another in different ways. It's good that Caroline B. Cononey wrote this book but I'm not sure if people will change that much, maybe it will make people think.. My personal opinion I didn't think it was a very bad book.. people should read it.

We had to read this book in school for the english lesson. It isn't difficult to understand. It shows how most teenagers are. Some parts of the book are boring but there are also some positiv parts. so i gave the book 3 stars.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is a very disturbing story about sheer irresponsibility and its dire consequences. The victims and families of the perpetrators are the only sympathetic characters. I detested Remy and found her to be an overly dramatic, irresponsible and self centered character. I didn't like her mother and felt those two deserved each other. I also was quite perturbed about Remy's brother having never been named. That really bothered me. That is another example of a lack of regard for human life, human identity and sheer irresponsibility. Remy and her foolish mother were two dodo birds of a feather that flew together. This is Cooney's worst book after a string of successess. I usually like Caroline Cooney works, but this one is one to drive past. Detour and read another one of Caroline Cooney's books instead and leave this one in the dead end it belongs in!
