Along the way she draws in several strangers who become fellow travelers, sharing their adventures as she fulfills her mission. A phone conversation with her grandmother sends Coyote on a determined, immediate cross-country quest that she must trick her father into making. Traveling is their way of dealing with the tragic loss of her mother and two sisters five years before, a loss that is never discussed. The book is narrated by a 12-year-old precocious girl named Coyote who is traveling randomly and endlessly across the country in an old school bus with her father, Rodeo. The book received several awards, including the Amazon #1 Best Children’s Book of 2019, the 2019 Cybil’s Award for Best Mid-Grade Fiction, and a 2019 Parents’ Choice Award Gold Medal Winner. A former librarian and schoolteacher, Gemeinhart loves books as much as most of the characters in this novel.
Gemeinhart has written several other middle grade novels, and like the father in the story, he and his wife have three daughters and they live in the state of Washington.
The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, published in 2019, is written by author Dan Gemeinhart.
