Sixteen-year-old Alex decides to get even. His parents are separated, his father is dating his former 3rd-grade teacher, and being 16 isn't easy -- especially when it comes to girls. Instead of revenge, though, Alex ends up in trouble with the law and is ordered to do community service at a senior center where he is assigned to Solomon Lewis, a "difficult" senior with a lot of gusto, advice for Alex, and a puzzling (yet colorful) Yiddish vocabulary. Eventually, the pair learn to deal with their past and each other in ways that are humorous, entertaining, and life-changing.

Excerpt from NOTES FROM THE MIDNIGHT DRIVER
by Jordan Sonnenblick

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Yes, I know everybody says that – but I’m serious. As insane as it looks in retrospect, I was fully convinced on that particular Friday evening last September that stealing my mom’s car and storming my dad’s house was a brilliant plan. And not brilliant, as in, “That was a brilliant answer you gave in Spanish today.” I mean brilliant, as in, “Wow, Einstein, when you came up with that relativity thing, and it revolutionized our entire concept of space and time while also leading all of humankind into the nuclear age, that was brilliant!”
