nTwo teenagers, in love and insane, journey across the United States in this Bonnie and Clyde-like adventure, pursuing a warped American dream, where Elvis is still king and the corn dog is the backbone of this great country. nHe told her he was a one-woman man and she was it for him. Teal said that was good because he was it for her. It and It. Both of them were It. n nKody Rawlee Green is stuck in juvie. Tella Teal Cartwheels Carticelli is packing her bags for Rome--on the orders of her parents, who want her as far from Kody as possible. But teenage love is too strong a force for the obstacles of reality. And the highway beckons. n nLeaving their abusive pasts behind them in Jersey, Kody and Teal set off on a cross-country road trip equal parts self-destruction and self-discovery, making their way, one stolen car at a time, toward bigger, wider, bluer skies. Along the road, of course, theres time to stop at Graceland, classic diners, a fairgrounds that smells of pony shit and kettle corn, and time for run-ins with outsize personalities like the reincarnated Grand Canyon tour guide Dead Bob and the spurious Montana rancher Bill Gold. On their heels, all the while, is Teals brother, Neil Carticelli, whos abandoned his post in the navy to rescue the sister he left behind. But does she really need saving? n nThese all too American tropes find new expression in Bud Smiths own freewheeling prose--and in Rae Buleris original illustrations--filling Teenager with humor, poetry, and a joy thats palpable in every unforgettable sentence. n nA VINTAGE ORIGINALn
