Clean Getaway
by Nic Stone
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone comes a timely middle-grade road-trip story through landmarks of the Civil Rights movement and the map they lay for contemporary race relations. How to Go on an Unplanned Road Trip with Your Grandma:
Grab a Suitcase: Prepacked from the big spring break trip that got CANCELLED.
Fasten Your Seatbelt: Gmas never conventional, so this trip wont be either.
Use the Green Book: Gmas most treasured possession. It holds history, memories, and most important, the way home. What Not to Bring:
A Cell Phone: Avoid contact with Dad at all costs. Even when Gma starts acting stranger than usual. Set against the backdrop of the segregation history of the American South, take a trip with this New York Times bestseller and an eleven-year-old boy who is about to discover that the world hasnt always been a welcoming place for kids like him, and things arent always what they seem--his Gma included. Truly a delight. -Christopher Paul Curtis, author of Newbery Medal winner Bud, Not Buddy
