Winner of Storytelling World Award & NAPPA Gold Award (Storytelling)
A winding highway, children fighting in the back seat, parents suggesting diversionary games and holding onto their own hopes and fears for the vacation ahead: it's not an uncommon scene. However, it is Donald Davis's genius that turns a lackluster family vacation into weekly to remember. The 1950s-era plastic seat covers weren't the only thing to leave a lasting impression. In her spontaneous (and desperate) invention of games like Cow Poker and discover Rock City, Mother keeps the rules one step prior to the back-seat contestants, until one-too-many choruses prompt a detour the family never forgets.
School Library Journal wrote, "The narrative moves gently, smoothly, and charmingly with the cadence of any master storyteller. Ideal for YAs who want for historical fiction or who've short story assignments, this book is also the perfect accompaniment for sitting in a popular rocking chair while sipping homemade lemonade."
