The Amazon Papers

Almost sixteen, Iris is five-feet-ten, a straight-A student, and a hotshot athlete who has never broken curfew. So when her mother goes on vacation, how does responsible Iris end up with the car trashed, a disabled hearse in the garage, and a couple of hunky motorcycle guys named Byron and Foster waiting for her phone call? A strong, engaging protagonist propels this fast-moving novel seasoned with laugh-out-loud one-liners. "Full of situations that border on slapstick and peopled by a host of weird characters, the story is a delight because Iris is a delight--funny, ambitious, bright, and tempted to just wrong enough."--Booklist
