Hit the Road is a road trip story about a girl, her grandmother, and a kidnapping.Brit is on Summer vacation. She is dropped off at her grandmother's house when her parents take a trip to Alaska. Much to the grandmother's (Nannie) dismay. You see, Nannie has other plans. She has never missed a school reunion with her 3 best friends from college and she doesn't plan to miss it this year. Nannie has stealthily rented a car and she talks Brit into driving her to pick up "the girls" and taking them to the reunion. There are a few minor problems with this plan, however. Brit doesn't have her driver's license. And Nannie plans to kidnap one of "the girls" out of a nursing home. This is just the beginning of the adventure. By the end Brit will have a few terrifying run-ins with a very evil son who is trying to steal the fortune of one of Nannie's friends. She will save her grandmother's life on a couple of occasions. And she will get the boy of her dreams.
I really enjoyed this book. It's a fun and fast read. If you would like to find it in the Spokane Public Library click here.

This was one of the funniest, and at the same time one of the sweetest, books I've read. I could really feel for Brit--shanghaied into the middle of something so far outside her norm--but I really sympathized with "the girls'" determination to continue to be recognised as responsible adults and live their lives as THEY chose, whatever it took.
