pickSet in 1969, Bets is trying to understand the changes she has seen in her father since his return from Vietnam. When her friend Emmie sends her a ticket to Woodstock, Bets decides to drive from California to NY with Emmie as a way of escaping her problems at home.
I really enjoyed this one- and realized that it is the sequel to a book called Miss E.—so I immediately ordered that one from Amazon. 😁
Coming up on Woodstock‘s 50th anniversary and Cross Country‘s 1st! (Yes, the August 15 release date was planned) Thanks to all the indie bookstore owners, librarians, teachers, and readers who have made this year so much fun.
I made a VW foldable in honor of our awesome accommodations! #vw #volkswagen #vwbus #vwcamper #youngadult #fiction #yalit
Passed along a couple books to some middle school readers today. #YAlit #PeaceLoveMusic #Woodstock
Getting ready for a book festival and a few school visits. So, of course, I‘m cutting and folding VWs.
pickAn adorable historical fiction tale about a teenage girl traveling from CA to the Woodstock musical festival. I found this read refreshing & appreciated the fact that it was appropriate for all readers. Many books focused on this venue shine a light on sex, drugs, & rock and roll. I was pleased to see the Cross Country went deeper into different opinions & experiences with the war & how all decisions impacted different people differently.
I‘m excited to have Cross Country selected as one of Barnes and Noble‘s 20 Favorite Indie books of 2018. Why we loved it: This is a heartfelt coming-of-age tale set during a turbulent time with a protagonist who feels both real and relatable.

Having my books in libraries is pretty much my favorite thing ever.
Somewhere out there, there‘s a library with little Cross Country Volkswagens hiding on the shelves in the YA section.
When you write a book, sometimes you get to doodle in one of them.
Yay for book mail y‘all!! Aren‘t these covers gorgeous?? A girl going to Woodstock, uhm yes please!! I think lll read this one first then onto Miss E !
