Mara Moseley's decision to study auto mechanics threw a monkey wrench into the engine of her life. Her sisters say going to a vocational high school is beneath her. Mara had expected to be welcomed by the guys in her shop class with open arms-in fact she'd worried that those arms might be a little too open. But to her consternation, the guys in shop look at her as a lemon.Why? Why? Why? Mara's reflection in the mirror assures her she is a pretty, shapely girl. Of course her shop coveralls disguise the shapely part, but there's nothing she can do, nothing she wants to do, about being a girl.Nobody seems to approve of her goals, her choices, her self! Her path is filled with roadblocks: hostile teachers, zero social life, a friend's pregnancy. Mara has a great big headache. How is she going to recharge her batteries and hold true to her course?"This book will inspire teenage girls to pursue learning in male-dominated fields."-Frances Taormina, former librarian, Norman Thomas High School, NYC" Realistic situations that are as up-to-date as the news."-Gerry Lockard, Adjunct Lecturer, Queensboro Community College, NYC"A great read!"-Mary E. Kennedy, parent of 5th and 9th grade girls
