I haven't read this book since I was a kid. I remember that it was more advanced than your average grade school book. It has far more substance to it than the Babysitter series. The book is about a young girl learning to cope with her first moral dilemma. She is assigned to work with an older man in a rest home and ends up taking him for a drive across the country (with the aid of one of her friends) A great story and a well written book.
