No Place Like Home

By: James Bird

Narrated by: Calvin Joyal

When home is a car, life is unpredictable. School, friends, and three meals a day aren't guaranteed. Not every town has a shelter where a family can sleep for a night or two, and places with parking lots don't welcome overnight stays.

Opin, his brother Emjay, and their mother are trying to get to Los Angeles, where they hope an uncle and a new life are waiting. Emjay has taken to disappearing for days, slowing down the family's progress and adding to their worry.

Then Opin finds a stray dog who needs him as much as he needs her, and his longing for a stable home intensifies as his brother's reckless ways hit a new high. Opin makes a new friend in the shelter, but shelters don’t allow dogs…

Will anything other than a real home ever be enough?

Amazing Book!

My 11 year old daughter (who is an avid reader) had read this book and then chose it for her book club that we are hosting. She absolutely loved the book, as did her friends. I just listened to the book before the book club meeting and I too thoroughly enjoyed it! Incredible story, life lessons, positivity during tough times and yes, I even cried twice! Highly recommend!!!!

Had potential

I wanted to love this story, but it kept bashing Americans, white men and Christians. it lumped them all into one hateful group. Hate doesn't come in a color, nationality or religion. Hate is in the heart and is usually learned from family. Unfortunately, this book is also teaching hate.
