Summary: Driver's Ed
Review: Remy Marland crossed her fingers and prayed to the God of Driver Education that she would get to drive today. Remy loved to drive. When her turn came, she slid behind the wheel, surveying her intsturment panel like a bomber pilot heading to the battlefield. Remy did not know where she was going but to get there fast. Morgan Campbell had been standing on the threshold of turning sixteen and getting his driver's license ever since he could remember. Deep in the first crush of his life, thinking of nothing but girls, Morgan forgot what driving is all about.
Driver's Ed the only life and death coarse in school.
I liked the book because it was exciting and funny, when she slid behind the wheel.

Summary: Drivers Ed in a twisted way
Review: Three teens Remy, Nicky, and Morgan are your average teens. Grow up around wealthy high class parents who would never think their son or daughter is ever bad. Well this time they all are going to be surpirzed when their children tell them they are partially guilty in the death of a woman. Denise Thompson who was in her twenties with a husband and baby boy was killed from crossing a road and a truck t-boned her. The cause of the accident was from a stop sign being cut down. Remy, Nicky and Morgan are the theives of a the stop sign. Not in their wildest dreams did they ever expect to see on the news that someone died from their actions.
I give this book a 4 because it was a good suspensionful book but the ending was not all that and a bag of chips if you know what I mean. The climax and plot are wonderful and can make anyone relate to a scary memory from the past where you tried to keep a secret and couldn't sleep, because you always thought about it.

Summary: Drivers Ed
Review: Drivers Ed
By Caroline B. Coony
Date of review 9-19-02 In Drivers Ed, Remembrant (Remy) is a 15-year-old girl who is a normal kid. She loves to drive and she has a secret crush on a boy named Morgan Campbell. Remy is a skinny girl who plays sports, but the wrong kind for her. Morgan Campbell is a 15-year-old popular kid. He knows everything about cars. But when he falls in love, cars are nothing in his mind. Morgan is popular because he's strong and girls think he's cute. Nick Buddy (Morgan's old best friend) Is an 18-year-old-kid. He is bad. He never listens to other people. He never listens to his parents. He does what he wants.
In remy's and Morgan's school, there is a class called drives ed. Students come to divers Ed to learn how to drive. Remy met Morgan at drivers Ed. She fell in love instantly. Morgan liked Remy but never showed it. After Remy told her feelings to Morgan, Remy's friend told them that they should steal signs for fun. So that night Remy, Morgan, Remy's friend, and Nick Buddy when out to steal signs. They steal "thickly settled", "Morgan Rd." and most important a "stop" sign. Little did they know that this stop sign could have saved someone life, but it didn't.
I thought Drivers Ed was a great book. This book kept me reading and reading. It contains Action, Adventure, Mystery, and Intense. You never know what's going to happen next. A kid who like to have fun while reading or being serious should read this book because there are moments that are funny and moment that are serious. Also a person who likes excitement in a book would like this book.

Summary: an okay book
Review: The book i read was Driver's Ed by Caroline B. Cooney. Its abot these teenage kids named Remy,Morgan and Nickie. They are all good friends, Remy and Morgan like each other. The part i didn't like was when Denise Tompson died.She died because Remy,Morgan and Nickie took the stop sign. They were just trying to have fun. They didn't want to kill anybody. The book was kind of boring. I think is not a good book to read its a boring book.

Summary: Driver's Ed
Review: In the book Driver's Ed by Caroline B. Cooney, three teens, Remy, Morgan, and Nickie are having the time of their lives. Lark, Remy's best friend, has asked them to take a Thickly Settled street sign. So they did. They also took two more signs, a Morgan Ave. sign, and a stop sign. It is all fun and games till someone got hurt. Seriously hurt. She died. Denise Thompson died in a crash all because of the missing stop sign. She didn't stop and she crashed into a truck. Does one stop sign really make a difference?
Over all the book was fairly good. I did like the realism of the life of a teen: the pressure of friends, crushes, teachers and parents. I didn't like the realism of Denise Thompson death. This book was very different than all the books I ever read. This is a book many people can look at and see how it relates to their life or somebody else's life. It keeps you on edge, and makes you ask questions like. What will they do next? What is going to happen? It is obvious Caroline B. Cooney enjoys writing very real books. If you don't like realistic fiction, or dramatic books, this book isn't for you. If you do like these type of books, try it.

Summary: This Book=ZZZzzz
Review: This book is so boring! It started off very good, but then it went some 150 pages with out a single interesting thing happening! The entire book focuses on whether the characters should tell about a prank that ended up killing someone. In the last 25 pages, i could not put it down, but other than that, it was a snore!

Summary: Sign Stealing
Review: Driver's Ed by Caroline B. Cooney is a very intersting novel about two kids named Remy and Morgan. Remy Marland is in love with Morgan Campbell, and although she does not think he knows she exists, he too is in love with her. Rembrandt and Morgan are in the same Driver's Ed class at East Line High. Mr. Fielding, the principal and teacher of the class, is so apathetic and oblivious to what the class is doing. The students often trade identities so that they can drive more or less frequently.
When teens are smashing mailboxes at night and getting away with it Lark decides that everyone in the driving class is to steal a sign. They must steal one before they can pass their driver's test and the sign will be a souvenir of the class. Remy, Morgan, and Lark arrange to go sign stealing one night, but Lark cancels on them. When a tragic accident happens where they had taken a sign they don't know what to do but feel guilty.
I would reccommend this wonderful novel. It was a great book that shared teen related issues such as valdalism, guilt, friendship, and relationships. Teens would really enjoy this book because they can easily relate to many topics discussed throughtout it. Caroline B. Cooney swiftly changes from Morgan's perspective to Remy's which gives the reader a look at how different teens deal with their problems. The author gives Morgan a shy characteristic which is unusual because he is a social and popular kid. It is filled with suspense and kept me flipping pages.

Summary: Casserly Report Period 6
Review: Caroline Cooney's Drivers Ed is about several high school students experiencing all the ups and downs of learning to drive. As teenagers they are very mischievous and just enjoy a good time, but when a mother is found dead as a result of something they are guilty of, it seems like there lives will change forever.
Remy, Lark, and Morgan are mischievous friends who plan to go out to steal certain signs one night. None of them have their licenses, so Nicky Buddy drives. He is one year older than all of them, and he lives by Morgan so he is a friend with him. Remy decides that she want a Morgan Road sign, they get a "Thickly Settled" sign for Lark, and Morgan takes a Stop sign. Also, Remy and Morgan kiss when they are in the car. When Remy comes home, Mac starts to question her and she has to hide the Morgan Road sign in the bushes to make sure that Mac doesn't tell their mom what she did.
That night, Morgan is watching the news and he sees a thing on about how a stop sign was taken off of Cherry Road and some mother was hit by a truck and died. Morgan then realizes that it was the sign that they took. Morgan's dad then says, "Whoever took that sign should be shot."
It was Friday, so she didn't have to worry about school, but all she could think about was the sign. What if her class found out? Saturday passed, and still, she couldn't think of anything but the sign. Then Morgan's family decides to start going to church, and this makes Remy think that Morgan told. But then she realizes they only went because his dad is running for governor. After church, everyone went to the basement to have cake and coffee, but Morgan couldn't eat because every time he put cake in his mouth, he thought of the lady never eating again. Then Mac walks over to Morgan and starts telling him about how Remy likes him so much, and how their mom has pre-qualified him for marriage. He pretty much embarrasses Remy. The next Monday morning, Remy's mom is taking her and Mac to school when they notice that 43 mailboxes are destroyed. Her mom said they should be shot, and this made Remy think what she would think of her if she found out that it was she that took the sign. That day in school, a cop comes and talks to the class about the accident. Remy and Morgan are scared, but all the cop says is don't do it. Nothing happened on Tuesday or Wednesday, but on Thursday, a full-page ad was in the paper, paid for by the lady's husband that said: Who murdered my wife? I don't know, but I'll find out. Look at this beautiful woman. Only twenty-six. You killed her. You ended her life, and left mine empty. Don't sleep tonight! Murderer!
In the next section of the book, Morgan decides that he can't take it anymore and tells Nickie that he has to tell about it. Nickie just said, "Don't do it yet, let's talk." Morgan calls for Remy, but she's not there so he tells Mac to have her call him and say that he is going to tell. Remy then goes to call Morgan, but Mac interrupts her and says, "Tell what? What is he going to tell?"
"Gossip," Remy says.
Then Morgan goes to Nickie's house, and they talk about what would happen if they tell. To prevent Morgan from telling on them, Nickie says that if he tells he is going to say that Remy and Morgan wanted to see an accident and that they were glad that a woman died. This stopped Morgan from telling. Back at Morgan's house, there are a bunch of lawyers watching the news. The ad comes on, and Morgan asks them what would happen to the kid if they found him. They said that being it would probably be his first offense, he would be fined $50 and have to do some community service. The reason for that is that all they did was take the sign, they didn't kill anyone. Morgan tells Remy about Nickie's threat and that scared her. She's afraid that her parents might actually believe him. Then the days begin to pass very quickly and nothing is heard about the accident for a while. The ads stop, and most everyone forget about it.
In the last section of the book, Remy takes her driving test and passed it, but on the way out, she tells Mr. Fielding that it was her who took the sign and that she is going to tell her parents tonight. She takes her car out and goes and picks up Morgan. She tells him that she told. Morgan decides that he better tell his parents also. He tells his dad and his father just sits there in disbelief. Then it tells how Remy told her parents and how they went nuts. Her mom thought she was a bad mother, and her dad just couldn't believe it. Remy's father doesn't know whether to bring in the police or not. Then he called Nickie's parents, but they convince him that he wasn't involved. A meeting between Mr. Fielding, Remy's family, and Morgan's family is arranged. At the meeting, Mr. Fielding says that he thinks Morgan and Remy should be punished. They don't agree on whether to call the cops or not. The next day, they decide to go and talk to Mr. Thompson. They apologize for what they did and Mr. Thompson realizes that if they're sorry, that's good enough for him. Then the next day, Mr. Fielding takes Remy and Morgan to look at the grave of Denise Thompson. They say they're sorry again.
