#FirstLine ~ Twenty-five minutes from now a plane will crash.
This book is FANTASTIC...I cannot wait for my boys to read it. I was completely engaged. It was one of those reads that caused to me take pause and escape into the thrill of the story. It has characters that were believable the daring. I love that you have to think when reading this book. It is not written in a way that demeans what kids know and can handle. You can keep track of details and are still able to get lost within the pages. What an intense, wild ride. Kids will adore it, as did I.

Sibling 1 throws blenders and plays guitar. Sibling 2 is allergic to everything and is into magic. Sibling 3 is a varsity swimmer with a group of female fans. Enough said. The only thing they have in common is their biological father, and the only thing they can agree on is that they all want to meet him. With the help of a broken-down, “borrowed” Jeep, KT, Jesse, and Gabe make their way across the country evading police, trying their luck on the slots, and meeting a life-changing pig, all to track down Donor 806, their father. Any hope of success requires smarts, luck, and ingenuity. Good thing they have each other...even if they don't see it that way.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
#FirstLine ~ My mom, Kim, looks a lot like Reese Witherspoon, if Reese wore a Burger Boy manager's uniform.
This book is quite original and such fun. It was a light approach to a heavier topic. It was a quick read that kept me turning pages. I loved that these three siblings took to the road to find their Dad, making memories, creating shenanigans and having a crazy and outrageous adventure. It is a great book for younger readers looking for an out of the box, entertaining and one-of-a-kind read.
