Twelve-year-old Coyote doesn’t have what anyone would call a normal childhood. She lives with her dad on an old school bus they’ve converted into a camper, rambling around the country. They never stay one place long, she never goes to school, and they never, ever talk about the home they left behind. Because, five years ago, it wasn’t just Coyote and her dad; she had a mom and two sisters and a home they loved. Then, one tragic day, her mom and sisters were killed in a car accident. Her dad was too heart-broken and haunted by memories to keep living the life they’d been living, so they sold their house and bought the bus and changed their names and they’ve been roaming and wandering ever since, trying to leave their sadness behind.
That all changes, though, the day that Coyote learns that something irreplaceable is about to be destroyed forever: something that’s tied to one of her last memories of her mom and sisters, something she would do anything to save. She has four days to get all the way across the country to save it, and that’s exactly what she intends to do. Four days to race 3600 miles back to a home she hasn’t seen in five years.
Along the way, Coyote and her dad pick up a ragtag crew of hitchhikers and fellow travelers, folks with their own burdens and journeys and lessons to teach. Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all . . . but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.”

4.5 (Muito bom)

O livro é mesmo lindo! Muito comovente no seu retrato do luto e da parentalidade. Claro que ele tem uma linguagem adaptada a idade alvo dos leitores e também da uma repetida meio chata nos temas, mas chega bem perto da perfeição.
