Horn Book Magazine "Of all the grades, senior year of high school is most fraught with emotion. Randy Ribay, of Camden, has done a terrific job of capturing these emotions in his novel. Ribay takes us inside the lives of four teenagers on a cross-country odyssey and gives equal weight to all. It's one of those trips we don't mind going on because most of us can recall facing that senior year of high school when we knew life was about to change."
