The Ride Home

Key Selling Points

This book examines bullying in middle school and how everyone has a story to tell. The entire story takes place during one bus ride home from school.   Gail Anderson-Dargatz has written many hi-lo or literacy learner novels for both YA and adults working to strengthen their literacy skills. The author confessed that she was the “weird” one on the bus when she was a kid. Now her own kids take a long bus ride home too. The Ride Home was shortlisted for the Sheila A. Egoff Children's Literature Prize and the Chocolate Lily Award. Enhanced features (dyslexia-friendly font, cream paper, larger trim size) to increase reading accessibility for dyslexic and other striving readers.
