Everything you need to understand or teach Rules of the Road by Joan Bauer.
Jenna Boiler is supremely happy selling shoes after school at Gladstone's Shoe Store in Chicago, Illinois. There are things sixteen-year-old Jenna does not like about herself, including her height (five feet eleven inches), her weight, or her red hair. However, Jenna can sell shoes very well. Jenna knows how to take care of her customers, finding just the right shoe for each one. She prides herself on getting the right fit for every foot.
