This was a fast and pleasant-enough read, I guess, but I can't recommend it. The wise-beyond-her-years Coyote does not seem anything like a real 12-year-old girl. In fact, none of the characters felt real,though I liked each them well enough.

This book is really a special book. It made me cry so much. I loved it, but it was a lot. Especially since I went into it thinking it would be a nice break since it’s for middle grades… boy was I wrong! Still loved it and would recommend it for any age.

This book so badly made me want to be a bookseller again. I miss the conversations I would have had about it while trying to sell it.

have i read a million books with the same themes? yes. do i want to read even more? always. god i love middle grade fiction feat. teen girl + family + friends.
sad to say this is the first book by a man that i've read this year (boo). the plot, while unrealistic at times (it's fiction, what can you expect?), was exciting and unpredictable, and i enjoyed the diverse, kind cast of characters. my one major gripe is the writing, which was fun but seemed appropriative in a way that's hard to explain (or maybe i just don't know how people talk in rural washington). regardless, it threw me out of the story a bit and seemed unnecessary/unrealistic. would recommend because i love emotional books and i cried a lot near the end.

Insightful, heartwarming, and powerful. Coyote and Rodeo are lovable characters who attract a bus full of good people and great animals.

An excellent road trip listen. I enjoyed the diverse cast of characters and the storytelling.
