License to Drive

by A.L. Singer, Peter Lerangis

There is nothing more important to Les than getting his driver's license. It means an end to the embarrassment of having his parents drive him to parties. And he and his best friends, Dean and Charles, are convinced that once they have wheels, girlfriends are sure to follow. There's only one thing Les hasn't considered—failing his driver's test.

Tonight Les has a date with the most beautiful girl in the school and access to an incredible old Cadillac. There's only one thing he doesn't have—a license.

Does that stop him? No. Should it? Yes. Watch out—here comes Les, Dean, and Charles cruising for a bruising—hold onto your seats—you're in for a bumpy ride!

I keep hoping to forget about the two Coreys, but they keep coming back into my consciousness.

This is an adaptation of the movie License to Drive, a clean teen comedy, so nothing like Porky's or Hardbodies.

A kid with a hard working good child twin flunks his driver's exam, but the computer crashes. His sister did so well, they give his license until they get his score back.

He "borrows" his grandfather's old caddy to go to the party of the year, and hand out iwth the girl of his dreams. Things don't quite work out.

Not the worst from the Coreys.

This book is so good. I have read it more then once over the years. I just re read it again, and just had to write a review. This book is great for the YA crowd as well as the young at heart. A great read that you won't regret.

More entertaining than I expected from a novelization of an 80's movie, but certainly no outstanding achievement in literature here.

This is a book based on a silly 80's movie. I read it in junior high when my parents wouldn't let me see the movie.
