Nobody Needs to Know

From New York Times bestselling author David Bell, a coming-of-age story about a high school senior who has always flown under the radar and decides, instead, to let life happen fast.

Noah Maxwell’s life has been all about waiting.

Waiting to graduate. Waiting to find out if he earned the scholarship that will get him out of Freemont, Ohio. Waiting for his real life to begin.

But that all changes when Graham Porter moves to town. He’s everything Noah hates. He’s rich. He’s loud. He’s brash. And he’s never met a rule he didn’t want to break. Especially the one that forbids high school students from driving in Freemont. After stealing his parents’ 1977 Ford Galaxie, Graham convinces Noah to speed down a deserted road in excess of one hundred miles an hour.

And that’s how Graham’s dream of the Midnight Driving Club becomes a reality.

Noah loves the feeling of pushing a vehicle to its limit. And, for the first time, he has real friends—a group that includes Sloane Benitez, the girl he’s been in love with since ninth grade.

When word spreads about the club, Noah finds himself racing kids far more reckless than Graham. Noah knows it’s just a matter of time before someone gets killed. But how can he walk away when the ride of his life has just begun?
