Clean Getaway

Clean Getaway is a great story about a boy who goes on a road trip through the south with his grandmother. William lives with his dad and is always getting into trouble. He ends up grounded, so when his grandma offers to take him on a road trip, he can’t wait to leave. William thinks it will be fun, but when his grandma starts acting strange, he thinks something might be wrong. His grandma takes him to various towns in the South and shows William places that she and William’s Grandpa visited. I really enjoyed this book because it was well written and kept me interested. There were a few illustrations scattered throughout this book. They helped to show some of the locations in this book. I really liked looking at the state pictures, which showed important places, and had a few fun facts. I think that William is a pretty realistic character, he is bold, curious, and cares for his family. Overall, I really liked this book, and I would recommend it to kids from nine to thirteen.
