An Occasionally Happy Family
An Occasionally Happy Family | Cliff Burke
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
"Coursing underneath this comically disastrous road trip romp is a painfully real and poignant reflection on how families find the strength to cope with loss. Funny and fast-paced (and occasionally happy), Theo's journey is one many young readers will relate to and enjoy."--John David Anderson, author of Ms. Bixby's Last Day and Posted Gordon Korman meets The Great Outdoors in this funny and moving debut about a boy who goes on a disastrous family vacation (sweltering heat! bear chases!) that ends with a terrible surprise: his dad's new girlfriend.

Perfect road trip book for middle graders. Love that it features a national park too!

I‘m a little behind on #MiddleGradeMarch but have multiple going and will catch up soon. This was a family vacation at Big Bend National Park in Texas with themes of parental loss and dealing with a parent dating. The MC is very funny, which brings levity to these tough topics.
