I'm a sucker for the trope of "precocious quirky girl with an unconventional lifestyle and traumatic past gets up to hijinks." (Is Anne of Green Gables the prototype?) This was not the most original story, but it was sweet and enjoyable.

Love the adventure and cast of characters! The trauma was just a little too close to home for me to completely love it.

I had such a fun time with this one! I’m a sucker for books about being on the road so it was already going to be a hit for me. I thought it was really awesome how they tackled real issues that were sensitive, but also could be relevant to the middle grade reader. I did have some issues towards the end with some of the plot point decisions but I really had a fun time with this one overall.
