Big Rig by Louise Hawes

adventurous emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

Hazmat has been trucking since the age of four, with her father and their trusty truck. But now that she’s growing up, her father has been putting more emphasis on finding a place to settle down, where he doesn’t have to order their textbooks through the mail, where she can have her own room and make friends, and more importantly, her mother’s urn can rest on a mantle instead of the dashboard. But Hazmat isn’t ready to give up her dream life just yet. So she hatches a plan, and with the help of old friends, new memories and one adorable kitten, she’s determined to make her father change his mind.

I adored Big Rig, and I’ll be making everyone I know read this once it comes out. While it is middle grade, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hazmat is a character that I wish I had when I was younger, and I can’t wait to see the next generation of girls grow up with a character like her.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, PeachTree and the author for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
