What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*I was excited to read the story based on the title and cover. Both just drew me in.
*Overall, I enjoyed the story of Hazel and her dad on the open road. It was certainly interesting to think about living life in this manner.
*There were a few events that I thought were a bit unrealistic and/or forced; but it didn't distract from the overall enjoyment of the story.
*I loved the support system the dad put in place for his daughter. Their friends back at "home" were the best.
*There wasn't a whole lot of "meaty" stuff that occurred, but it can be nice to read a story where nothing heartbreaking and/or tragic happens.
Who Should Read It:
*Perfect story for readers in grades three, four, and five. Of course the middle-school student would also be ideal for the "road trip". Happy Reading!
