Stetson Author:S. L. Rottman There are only two things that 17-year-old Stetson cares about. His car . . . and his art. For the past two years, he's been rebuilding an old Civic in the shed behind his father's trailer; his work at the salvage yard and the T-shirts he airbrushes and sells at school help pay for food and parts. As long as Stet avoids his father-who, since Ste... more »t's mother left years ago, has become both abusive and alcoholic-he considers himself lucky. The Civic and his art are his ticket out of their small factory town.
Then a girl named Kayla blows it all apart. She's waiting for him in the trailer one day after school. Almost gleefully, his father explains: Kayla is Stet's sister. Their mother was pregnant when she left, and no one knew-until she died, and no one wanted to take Kayla in. Now the two wary siblings have to live together, eat together, go to school together, and get to know each other. Responsible Stet and rebellious Kayla.« less
