The Car Thief

A Boy’s Perilous Journey through the Juvenile Justice System

by Vicki Reed

 

 Debut novelist, Vicki Reed, relies on decades spent working in the field to craft this inspiring story of loss and redemption. A powerful novel that shows how the transformative power of friendship, kindness, and love can heal the deepest wounds.

“Vicki Reed paints a vivid picture of the way our correctional system often fails to support children while valuing control over the cost of rehabilitation. She also reveals the strengths that can emerge when adults within the system step up to guide youth through hard times and trauma. Reed’s ability to capture the absurdities of our juvenile justice system through the eyes of a teen will make you laugh, cry, and advocate for reforms.”

— Marcy Mistrett, CEO, Campaign for Youth Justice (Washington D.C.)
