Road Trip Audiobook

" I am a big fan of Gary Paulsen. I usually really enjoy his books. This one was good, but not as good as others I've read. It is simple and enjoyable. I love the parts that are from the dog's point of view. :) It would be a good, easy read when you don't feel like a heavy read. "

" Road Trip is a light adventure story bringing a cast of quirky characters, a dog together and a bus on a quest to rescue border collie pup. This is a new Paulsen father/son collaboration. "

" Gary and his son make a good team. Short but great story. "

" 2 border collies on the cover - I can't resist! Great author's note at the beginning but the rest of the book reads a bit like a hi-lo/reluctant reader type of book, which cost it a star. I wish Paulsen would have fleshed out the dog parts more and had less of the mile a minute action. Little bit of a surprise at the end. The 128 pages begs to be in elementary school, but I think it's a better fit for middle and high school. "

" Good choice for reluctant boy readers. Short in length, but addresses many middle school themes. Loved the sections from the dog's point of view. "

" Hard not to like a book about rescuing a dog! "

" Finally a happy dog book "

" Good story. The dog, Atticus, has short chapters of his own where he shares his insights into how the humans are acting. "

" Solid read. Main character is 14 and there are lots of issues that could place this book more in the YA section. However, it is tame and I think 10+ is a good age group for this. Lots of laughs in this book and a pretty darn good story. "

" Not his best work. Mature subjects but readability and cover will appeal to middle schoolers. A few humorous scenes with drag race between police and Dad. "

" Not one of Paulsen's best, but if you like dogs, you will enjoy the comments by the main character's dog Atticus. "

" This is a fun book to read. It is fast paced, and the author really understand the characters and how they think and act. This is a must read as there is never a dull moment. "

" A really entertaining adventure. Need to keep reading to find out what would happen next. Very appropriate for Juvenile's. Just plain fun,and a great book for dog lovers. "

" I didn't even finish this! It is simply not up to the standard I have come to expect from this usually wonderful author! "

" Super cute! A dog book and no dog dies! :) "

" Father and son take off with 2 offbeat friends and a dog in a schoolbus to pick up a rescue puppy. The story is fast-paced, with funny characters getting into crazy situations.T he chapters alternate between the dog and the son narrating the road trip. "

" Cute. Not much to it. I liked the bits from Atticus's perspective. "

" Quick, clean, fun story about a father and son trek to rescue a dog. At first, their only companion is their current dog, but events pull others into their journey and the road trip becomes about finding home in many different senses. "
