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.

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A simple stop sign
Review: Drivers Ed. by Caroline B. Cooney is a great book. It's about a driver's ed. class who decides that none of them can graduate unless they steal a stop sign. The first group to go out is Morgan, Remy, Nickie, and Lark. Lark fakes sick to avoid the trouble she'll get in if they are caught, but the group still takes the sign for her. After taking 2 signs, a "thickly settled" for Lark and "Morgan Road" for Remy, who is in love with Morgan, Nickie stops his car at a stop sign, and takes it. The next day, the group finds out that a woman was killed at an intersection missing a stop sign. It was the intersection that they had taken the stop sign from. The victim of the crash was a young woman who was married and had a two year old. Her husband posts threats all over the town to the people who killed his wife by taking the sign. Will Morgan, Remy, and Nickie confess? Read the book to find out. This book will keep you reading the whole time, and if you've read other books by Caroline B. Cooney, you won't be dissapointed with this one!

Rating: 3 stars
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.

Rating: 3 stars
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.

Rating: 2 stars
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!

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 4 stars
