Have you been on a road trip? Comment down below even if you haven’t. If you have, tell me where! I love hearing about your adventures. Well, if you like taking trips by car, then this book will be a sweet ride! Nic Stone’s story of mystery offers insight into the world. The true, funny and real perspective throughout this book gives the main character a relatable feel that will have you reading it hours on end, have you saying, ‘One more chapter!’ time after time again. This, is Clean Getaway…

William, or Scoob, as everyone calls him, is a kid with mad coding skills and a complicated relationship with his dad. More about that later. He’s always made it along okay, but after the fight at school, and the incident with the test scores, he gets himself landed in the state of grounded. Grounded plus epic spring break vacation cancelled equals an obvious yes when his G’ma offers him a trip across the southern states all the way to Mexico. So, in the new RV that Scoob’s G’ma bought when she sold, yes sold, her house, the pair sets off on a wild adventure. The trip unleashes memories that G’ma had buried, ones that Scoob desperately wants to know more about. But be careful what you wish for, because as the unplanned undertaking continues, he finds out stuff about his beloved grandma… stuff that he almost wishes he never knew. And when G’ma begins to ignore calls from his dad, because, umm, Scoob never exactly told him where he was going, things start to get serious. But nothing could compare to the shock of the news on TV. An amber alert. For Scoob. What comes next requires some major thinking, and when Scoob and his G’ma run out of gas, will they end up together? Or farther apart then ever?

Another thing I found interesting was that the first time I started reading this, things didn’t make sense, and I stopped reading it. Then, a little while later, this book pops up as the classroom read-aloud book. It was good then, and, almost a year later, it’s even better. Nic Stone managed to roll everything amazing into one amazing book. And I couldn’t be more proud to read it!
