Jenna Boller can sell anybody anything. She’s the best employee at her branch of Gladstone’s Shoes.

So when Madeline Gladstone, the elderly president of Gladstone Shoe Stores, hires Jenna as her chauffeur for the summer, Jenna leaps right into the driver’s seat. And that begins a cross-country adventure where she and Mrs. Gladstone learn a lot about the rules of the road . . . and the rules of life.
