Read for Popsugar: A bildungsroman

Fictional towns in Washington strike again! Though I wasn't as distracted this time as I was with Remarkably Bright Creatures, because most of the book takes place in other (real) places. Coyote's voice is charming, and she is dealing with some STUFF. I do take issue with a 12-year-old girl doing most of the emotional labor in the book - for grown men, at that. And they never once mentioned how they stay clean on that bus besides one stop to swim in a muddy river. But I also found myself won over by the adventure and the characters.
