19paws's review
4.0
I loved this 1960s tale of three siblings who make a 600-mile trek to find their parents with nothing in the way of resources except for some beach towels, sun hats, and $23. Their willingness to climb into a car with strangers seemed a little unusual even for the 1960s, especially because some of the people who helped them actually seemed a little sinister.
The author named the three characters after his own three children. This was actually a little odd since he wasn't entirely complimentary about their personalities and appearances. I wonder how the oldest daughter felt about having her weight problem mentioned throughout the story.
But it's a great book and I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen at the end!
