Seventeen-year-old Del is looking for a break. She's been bounced from foster home to foster home, surviving by imitating those around her. She's scrimped and saved in order to break-out from her stifling L.A. surroundings. Breakout takes place simultaneously in the all-day traffic jam that entraps Del on her way out of town and eight years later in her one-woman show about what she learned from being stuck in the jam.  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2005-2006)
