Henry Gregor Felsen

    Felsen byl plodný autor, který se ve svých dílech často zaměřoval na témata jako drogová závislost, sexismus a rasismus. Jeho psaní se vyznačovalo realismem, často s nešťastnými konci a hrdiny, kteří byli rebely. Felsen se snažil tyto složité otázky adresovat v literatuře pro mladé čtenáře, čímž předběhl svou dobu. Jeho díla, zejména série o autech, odrážela morálku a předsudky doby, ačkoli se proslavil svými hrdinskými postavami, které se často potýkaly s těmito problémy.

    • Every year a new fad makes its mark at Raccoon Forks High: noisy, outlandish, expensive, silly, but never dangerous or destructive. Even the latest fad of drag racing to school was tame compared to the wild crazes that had seized students in other towns. That is, until David "Outlaw" Galt transferred from Capital City High. Usurping Mike Revere's position as the best boy with the best car, and stealing the girl who went with it, he set off a power struggle the likes of which Raccon Forks had never seen. But Mike was willing to drive his way to victory, no matter the cost. Crash Club captured the heart and soul of 1950s hot rod culture. The lean, mean story follows Revere's hard-driving path to rodding redemption, riffs on some meaningful messages, and unleashes a fast and furious read. Dig in and learn what millions of readers already know; the world's most popular hot rod novel is a hopped-up high-horsepower thrill ride.
