Opis

This is an accurate account of the fictional adventures of the Petru Family of six on their first and only cross country US land trip in their brand new custom Chevy Van. The four Petru children, from ten years old to four years old, a dog named Breezy, and a cat named Tabby as well as neighbors known as the Bees, survive a multi-thousand-mile excursion over both easy and rough US terrain. I Liam, the youngest Petru wrote this book so that you could experience what it was like to be in our home, the parks, and in the ball fields, with the Petru family. Most especially, you can now be in the van with us on our most adventurous cross country journey. There are a lot of funny things that happen to us in this story. The trip was not supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be fun and educational. It is both and it is a great read. You will love it. While our parents thought, it was their trip, we the children felt that it was our cross-country trip. Then about half-way through the trip on the way back our parents traded places with the Griswold's Just as my prior story about the Magical Red Hat, this story is told through the eyes of me-the most innocent of all the children-a four-year-old. As a young author, I had taken many mental notes of the trip. The notes were so powerful that I could write about this trip flawlessly twenty years later. The Griswold's could not have told the story any better if I don't say so myself. You won't be able to put this book down. Besides, the subplots at every town along the journey, there is a lot of teaching / learning going on about the magic of geography. Even in a 100+ page book, it takes a long while to cross the United States from Pennsylvania to Salt Lake City Utah and back. I wrote the story so you too could take the trip with us. You'll feel like you are on the trip. And, when the Griswold's are really getting to you, you can just set the book down for a while til they go away. Have fun This is my follow-up story to My Red Hat Keeps Me On The Ground, which I wrote and which my dad got published for me. From a reader's perspective, it is written by the same Petru kid. I am Liam. It brings back all the characters that everybody learned to love from the magical Red Hat Story-including me, the Petru family, Mr. Bee, & Barbie Bee.
