Getting Nowhere

By Constance C. Greene

Mark only has one emotion: anger

Fourteen-year-old Mark feels betrayed by his father, who has recently remarried. He spends his time feeling resentful and angry, especially after a humiliating experience with a girl.

Mark’s mood only worsens until even his best friends have had enough. When he recklessly decides to take his stepmother’s car for a spin, he meets with near-tragic consequences. Can he learn to let go of his anger before things get out of control?
