The family we have and the family we make can strengthen us in our darkest, hardest times. We all come from different backgrounds, and because of our experiences we are stronger together. As Coyote says, it’s hard to trust others, but being all alone is even more scary.
I highly recommend this #middlegradereads with caution ⚠️. TW include: Grieving death of spouse/parent, and child/sibling. LGBTQIA+ issues. Physical abuse.
Minor: Homophobia, Domestic abuse, and Grief

I'm not sure about the legality of driving a school bus without a special license (even for personal use). It seems like some states might require it for a bus as big as Yager. And you cannot tell me that Lester is licensed to drive a bus.
This book begs to be compared to a childhood favorite of mine, Road Trip by Gary Paulsen.
