Cross Country is Here!

​In Cross Country, Brian Herberger deftly places readers into the the mind and heart of Bets — a smart, bold, and thoughtful teenager — and into America in the summer of 1969, a time, not unlike our own, when young people are finding the courage to stand up and speak out for justice. 

This book will make young readers nostalgic for a time before they were born, and if they don’t know the music of Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix, by the end of the book, they will be begging their grandparents to dig out their old records. 

If there is a current book that will spark conversations between baby boomers and their grandchildren, Cross Country is it.
