The Vanderbeekers are off on their first big trip! Recreating a cross-country road trip Papa never got the chance to take with his own father, the biracial crew pack up and hit the highway, ready for anything that travel might bring. Nothing, not wet tents, creepy campgrounds, or overheated vans, can dampen their enthusiasm for seeing America's sights and finally reaching California. But when the younger Vanderbeekers learn of a frightening change headed their way, they worry their family and their life in the beloved Harlem brownstone will never be the same. What would home be without the people they love living in it? For anyone who has ever feared—and faced—change, here is a fresh, empowering addition to a perennially favorite series the New York Times Book Review hails as "delightful and heartwarming."
