Precious Cargo: My Year Driving the Kids on School Bus 3077 by Craig Davidson
4.0
This book may not be for everyone, but the endearing story and blatant honesty makes it difficult not to love this book! It's the sort of book that you have to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride, rather than looking at any technicalities. Craig may have taken the job of driving bus 3077 for the reason of being a nearly starving writer, but he, and in turn the reader, got a lot more than just next month's rent out of it.
I picked up this book last summer, but never got around to reading it until now. I'm not usually someone to read a book set in the same generally area as me - let alone where I've lived my whole life - for the sole reason of it being more captivating to read a book set somewhere I haven't yet had the chance to discover myself. However, I hadn't realized the power of being able to imagine the very street he was on when something substantial happened in the story, and more or less being able to know where I was at that time as well.
Although dull at times, the attention to detail of the evolution of the teens throughout Craig's year of driving them really hit home and shows a perspective not usually discussed of what being disabled means.
