Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus by Tom Angleberger
4.0
We've enjoyed this series for road trips. The kids have loved the print versions for a couple years at least, and the books are funny so we adults like them, too.
This particular book prompted games of "Made You Look" and even more laughs than usual. If you're throwing a "May the Fourth" party, it would be worth checking out the list of Star Wars foods the kids came up with on their long ride.
Parents might want to know that there are subplots of seventh-graders liking each other and sneaking kisses - plus plenty of instances of the word "butt" - but there's also themes of friendship, loyalty, kindness, and empathy.
