Driving The Demon

By Lorca Damon

"Three things happened on the same day: my grandfather died, my parents split up, and I got suspended from school for five days for being a terrorist."Caid Thomas has it pretty rough. ADD medication that doesn't help him focus, a failing grade in chemistry, and now, an exploding locker, a dead grandfather, and a mom who's been cheating for some time. When his grandfather's parting gift is a beat-up Dodge Demon and a weathered copy of Cather in the Rye, Caid realizes a road trip out West was meant to be.Along the way, though, Caid meets some kids with actual problems. Divorced parents is nothing compared to trying to escape a meth dealer in the projects of Detroit or defending yourself against the man who's been molesting you for most of your life.As the trip stops being a nightmare and starts to become a mission, Caid learns a lot about who he thought he was, but more importantly, who he knows he needs to be.Praise for The Earth is for Dancing:"Capturing the pathos and excitement of orphanhood and throwing in a little Mean Girls flavor as well, this manuscript is familiar without being derivative. ..this combination of big romantic gestures, righteous outrage, subsequent vindication, danger, and escape offers a light and enjoyable reading experience."--Publisher's Weekly
