New York: Crown Publishers, (2020). SIGNED first edition - The first book for middle grade students by the author of 'Dear Martin'. "Using the Negro Travelers Green Book and her hidden past as a road map, a grandma takes her grandson on a cross country journey. When Gma pulls up to William Scoob Lamars house in a brand-new Winnebago and invites him on an adventure, Scoob leaves a note for his dad and jumps in.. . Scoob is a willing wingman because he wants to escape his strict single dad for a few days. After they cross from Georgia to Alabama and Gma keeps avoiding Dads calls, Scoob begins to get suspicious. When Gma lets him see the contents of her once off-limits treasure box, which includes a 1963 edition of the Travelers Green Book, Scoob understands this trip means much more than even he imagined. The complex role race plays in their family and on this trip - Scoob is mixed-race and presents black, and Gma is white - is explored in a meaningful way that provides details about a period in time as well as present-day realities."
