 | I like how the author personalized the book.
I felt like I was right there in the car and experiencing it first hand. The
details used really helped you see the setting and sense all the emotions
going on. |
| I liked how the story dealt with tough
issues in a real way. The story dealt with issues of death, friendship, and
family life in a way that children can relate to and understand.

| I liked how the story was told. It was her
retelling all that had happened to her in a creative way. The story was told
in a way that you felt like Sal was telling it to you in the car personally. |
| This is a story about a thirteen year old
girl who takes a road trip with her unique grandparents to follow the path her
mother took when she left the family very abruptly. While on the trip, Sal
humors her grandparents with stories of her neighbor Phoebe. At the end of the
trip she finds a sense of closure to the whole journey taken, both on the road
and in her life journey. |
