The theme of Alameda County Library's summer reading game is "Have Book, Wi ll Travel" so I'd like to share our travel booklist for kids:
Most of these titles are recent and all are still in print. :)

On the Road (Again): Travel Books
I imagine many members of the CCBC-Net community ARE on the road this holid ay weekend. But let's get started with our theme for the first part of Jul y regardless:
On the Road (Again): More Books about Travel and Journeys: We have a recent booklist on the Lee and Low blog* to thank for the inspiration to revisit a topic we first explored in July, 2007. Whether it's around the block or a cross the borders of states and nations, we invite you to share your favori te books for children and teens in which characters are on the move, discov ering new places or revisiting ones they love.
To see the Lee & Low blog post, go to:
In the meantime, what are books that come to mind for you when you think tr avel, journeys, or road trips?
A new book that comes to my mind--and one that's receiving it's deserving s hare of starred reviews--is Cynthia Kadohata's novel "The Thing about Luck, " in which twelve-year-old Summer's travels with her grandparents and young er brother, all part of a harvesting crew helping bring in farmer's wheat, is a journey inward as well as across the landscape of the heartland. Ther e are so many things I appreciate about this novel, not the least of which is the way it' characters are slowly revealed through their actions and int eractions, and the way Summer gradually gains a new perspective on herself and those around her because she takes the time to reflect, and finds the courage to act.
