James Hoff ist 17 und kommt irgendwie nicht mit seiner Welt zurecht. Er ist gegen die Konsumgesellschaft, gegen umweltverpestende Autos und gegen seine Ex-Freundin Sadie, die seiner Meinung nach nicht genug tut, um die Welt zu ändern. Aber irgendwie liebt er sie trotzdem und kommt nicht von ihr los; auch nicht auf dem Rücksitz eines seiner so verhassten Autos. In James regiert das Chaos, doch eines kann er: schreiben. "Destroy All Cars" ist ein charmanter Bildungsroman über den komplizierten Weg vom Jugendlichen zum Erwachsenen: unterhaltsam, traurig, witzig und immer echt. Ein Text wie gemacht für das Ende der Sekundarstufe I. Die Lektüre enthält mehrere Zusatztexte und Ideen für den Unterricht
