Synopsis

\"Sometimes a story comes along that just plain makes you want to hug the world. The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise is Dan Gemeinhart’s finest book yet — and that’s saying something. Your heart needs this joyful miracle of a book.\" — Katherine Applegate, acclaimed author of The One and Only Ivanand WishtreeA 2019 Parents\' Choice Award Gold Medal Winner\r\nFive years.\r\n\r\nThat\'s how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash.\r\n\r\nCoyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it.\r\n\r\nAlong the way, they\'ll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there\'s Gladys...\r\n\r\nOver 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.”\r\n\r\nThis title has common core connections.
