This middle-grade book, the fourth in the best-selling Bakers Mountain Stories series by Joyce Moyer Hostetter, features twin sisters Ida and Ellie Honeycutt, who find themselves growing apart as they respond differently to their father's postwar trauma, the NASCAR speedway in their town, and their new high school. With home life destabilized by her father's postwar trauma, Ellie Honeycutt seeks escape at the NASCAR speedway and in her dreams of travel and college, while her twin sister, Ida, clings to family and finds solace in her sketchbook.

A few years have passed since the previous books in the Bakers Mountain series. Ida and Ellie Honeycutt, the twins, are now starting high school. Ida is an introvert, quiet and artistic, while Ellie is an extrovert, ambitious and fun-loving. For the first time in their lives, they head in somewhat different directions at high school, taking some different classes and finding different friends, but unfortunately, falling for the same boy. Their father, Leroy, is still struggling with PTSD from what he witnessed in World War II. Hearing constant news about the Korean War and atomic bomb development isn't helping him at all. The Hickory Motor Speedway opens, and there's a new form of entertainment in the area, which Ellie loves, but Ida and her father loathe. Though Ann Fay, Junior, little Jackie, and Leroy all have their roles, this book is primarily about the twins.
Chapter 37 is the shortest chapter I've ever read in any book. It was also one of the most powerful. ( )

Drive is a solid historical fiction for middle graders. It tells the story of twins, Ida and Ellie Honeycutt, as they begin their freshman year. The girls are inseparable, but as the school year begins, each begin discovering who they are on their own, while also dealing with familial issues. This newfound independence causes the sisters to grow apart, especially after they fall for the same guy at the local NASCAR race track! Set during the early 1950's, Drive touches on Eisenhower's presidential election and the effects of PTSD on the Honeycutt twin's father. It is a wholesome family tale that is reminiscent of The Waltons. ( )
