Description
On a Sunday after church, CJ and his grandmother take their familiar bus ride across town—until CJ’s questions about cars, gadgets, and “better” neighborhoods start to crowd his thoughts. As the route unfolds, his grandma meets each worry with warmth and perspective, guiding him to notice the people, stories, and small joys he’s been overlooking. Through CJ’s shifting viewpoint, the novel explores class, community, and belonging, showing how dignity and wonder can exist in everyday places. With Matt de la Peña’s lyrical, accessible storytelling and emotionally resonant voice, this is a moving, hopeful journey that turns a simple ride into a lesson about seeing the world—and each other—more clearly.
