How to Go on an Unplanned Road Trip with Your Grandma:
Grab a Suitcase: Prepacked from the big spring break trip that got CANCELLED.
Fasten Your Seatbelt: G'ma's never conventional, so this trip won't be either.
Use the Green Book: G'ma's most treasured possession. It holds history, memories, and most important, the way home.
What Not to Bring:
A Cell Phone: Avoid contact with Dad at all costs. Even when G'ma starts acting stranger than usual.
Although Scoob is black, his grandmother is white. His grandparents fell in love and married in the early 1960s when it was actually illegal for them to marry in the South because she was white and he was black. It was also difficult to travel safely and Scoob learns about how a road trip from Georgia to Mexico went bad for his grandparents in the 1960s. Along the way, Scoob sees how life in the United States has and sometimes hasn't changed over the past fifty years. Secrets emerge that help Scoob understand his dad and himself.
