Clean Getaway

Without his dad’s permission, eleven-year-old William “Scoob” Lamar and his grandmother “G’ma” embark on an impromptu road trip across the American South. For Scoob, it’s an escape from his dad’s strict rules. For G’ma, it’s a chance to finish a trip she and “G’pop” attempted in the 1960s. As they travel to key civil rights landmarks, G’ma reveals more about her past, including the hardships she and G’pop faced as an interracial couple. But when G’ma starts behaving strangely, Scoob suspects there’s more to this trip than he originally believed. Part history lesson, part family mystery, this fast-paced story makes an excellent addition to any middle-grade reading list.
