Across the Land I Love by Sarah Holman
lighthearted
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
A very pleasant sibling road trip story. Some books have a strong sense of place, this one had a strong sense of season, very summery.
I did have to suspend disbelief a few times as a Midwesterner who thinks twelve hours is a standard not-too-hard road trip day, and has done an eighteen hour day in the car in the pinch, but I can mostly accept that the sisters in the story just didn't have that kind of road trip fortitude. ;-)
No real content concerns for even very young readers--there are references to crushes (not referenced in a positive way) and singleness and some normal life frustrations and communication difficulties, nothing that seems likely to be problematic for most young ones.
