YA novel that I can see being made into a movie of sorts, though with adults not kids. Computer Geek, sleezy guy, wanna be singer whose mother is a fraud artist and a barfy dog travel west with a couple of thugs after them. ( )

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060736755, Paperback)

Duff Pringle has bought his first car. (Used.) He's got six days to drive 3,000 miles cross-country to California and start a new hi-tech job that will make him wealthy. (Sort of.) Nothing can stop him. (Or can it?)

Uh-oh . . . CAR TROUBLE.

Duff's Ford Escort barely makes it a hundred miles from home before breaking down. What's he supposed to do? He's promised his new boss he'll be there by Monday. But he's also promised himself that he'll make this journey by car, so he can really see the country. Using his laptop and some quick thinking, he pieces together a way to continue his trip. What he doesn't plan on are the people he meets along the road. There's Stu, a hitchhiker with a secret; Bonnie, an aspiring singer with a con artist for a mother; two thugs looking for a trunkful of cash; and Moony, the terrier prone to carsickness.

From Jeanne DuPrau, the New York Times best-selling author of The City of Ember, comes an exciting road trip with more than a few pit stops.

Early one August morning, seventeen-year-old computer "nerd" Duff Pringle leaves Richmond, Virginia, in a newly-acquired used car and begins an unexpectedly convoluted journey to San Jose, California, and the job that awaits him there.
