Meet the Story Time Crew – a family of adventurers about to embark on the journey of a lifetime in their two-vehicle caravan. With Dad learning to drive their newly-rented RV nicknamed “Story Time,” Mom navigating from her travel nurse experience, and Uncle Mike leading the way in his trusted truck “Samson,” this isn’t your typical road trip tale.

Together with their parents and the wisdom of Uncle Mike and Aunt Jenny, they’ll navigate mountain passes, weather storms, make unexpected discoveries, and learn that sometimes the best memories happen when plans take unexpected turns.
From the wind-swept plains of Wyoming to the magical realm of Disney World, join this heartwarming adventure where two vehicles become one family’s path to courage, connection, and the discovery that home isn’t just where you start – it’s who you travel with along the way.
Perfect for readers ages 8-11, this middle-grade novel combines the excitement of a cross-country journey with the tender moments of a family learning to be brave together, one mile at a time.
