This is maybe not my favorite book in the series so far, but still full of so much heart and joy I will happily read any book in this series again and again!

This is my first Rex Ogle graphic novel and I have to say I am just absolutely in awe of his storytelling, it is a treat knowing Rex's story through his previous work, and seeing it applied in a graphic novel format. Would highly recommend for any middle school classroom!

Road trip storylines are some of my favorite in fiction, so I knew this would be a fun read! Some LOL moments, but I almost wish that the two separate plots were there own books, I really wanted to know more about Mrs. Nash, and less about the main character's love lives.

LOOOOOOONG!!!! But as a Washington State native, many of the stories were fascinating. I learned a lot! At a certain point the stories felt repetative, could have been maybe a fourth shorter and gotten the point across even better.

Rex Ogle is a gift and my favorite author, his stories continue to inspire. It would help to have read his previous work before this one to have context, as this story starts after the events of Punching Bag and Free Lunch.

Respectfully, what was this? Terribly mis-marketed. If the author wanted to write a memoir, they could have just done that, they seem to have a very interesting story to tell, but without the anecdotes of hosting.
