Destroy All Cars by Blake Nelson

I really like Blake Nelson--he's like America's YA version of Nick Hornby. I was a fan of Rock Star, Superstar and enjoyed Prom Anonymous and Paranoid Park.

James is a teen on a mission--we're killing the environment and he'll rant and rave until everyone starts to hear him. He's not goth, but he's depressed. He wants all cars destroyed and can't bear to have his dad buy him one. He's in love with his ex-girlfriend. Maybe. Or maybe he loves every girl who shows interest in him? James is a rebel. Sometimes. But he also cuts out the elbows in his shirts because it makes his shirt look worn out. lol. Oh, and he doesn't wash his hair much.

All in all, James is a slacker activist. And who doesn't want to read about a rebel with a cause?
