Summary: It would be five stars, but they changed the title!
Review: After searching for the book "Where it Stops, Nobody Knows" by Amy Ehrlich, I was disappionted to find that it was out of print. I became very excited when I saw a new book by her...After getting the book home I read the jacket and realized that it's not a new book, why, it is "Where it Stops, Nobody Knows" I'm a little disappointed that there was nothing in the book that mentioned the previous title. It won the DCF book of the year in 1990 in Vermont. It is a great book and I recommend it to anyone who likes fast-paced books.

It is hard for Nina to understand why Joyce seems to move around so much and why Joyce is so uptight when Nina hangs around with her friends. Nina makes friends and loses friends; it seems to be a neverending cycle. Joyce always seems to be nervous and never stays in one place for long.

This was a fast-paced read and I loved every word of it!!

Summary: Running From Something?
Review: Joyride is an awesome book! It's about a girl named Nina Lewis, who has lived with her mom Joyce, in a bunch of different states, including Canada. But Nina, who's 14, wants to settle down now. She's sick of leaving old friends behind, without saying good-bye. Then Nina and Joyce move to Venice, California, where Joyce once lived. Joyce promises that they'll stay in Venice for a long time. Then Nina starts finding clues that lead to Joyce's true identity. They move once again, and that's when Nina finds out the truth, during a emotion-filled climax. Probably not a good choice for light reading, but definitely a good book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Running From Something?
Review: This book is great for those who don't like their stories told quick and short. This book is about a 13 year old girls life on the road with her mother, whom she calls Joyce. Never staying in one part of the country more than a few months Nina is longing for the feeling of home and friendship. Although she has no problem gaining friends she often has to leave without saying good bye. When Nina is 14 Joyce promises that they will stay in Venice, California forever. This quickly changes when heart stopping events unfold.

Try and unravel the mystery behind Joyce before Nina can. You should definately read this book. It's a great summer read and will keep you glued till the end.
