I love this story!!
by Jennifer Greene-Sullivan
Every now and then, a story takes root in your heart before it ever hits the page. Dirt Road Rascals was one of those stories for me.
It started with two siblings, a missed highway exit, and a whole lot of Georgia red dirt—and quickly turned into something bigger. What began as a playful backroads adventure grew into a tale of bravery, cleverness, and the bond between family that sticks stronger than pine sap.
I’m thrilled to give you a sneak peek into this illustrated chapter book for second and third grade readers:
“We’ll be back in five minutes,” Grady said, holding up the old compass they found by the creek.
But five minutes turned into one missed trail… and then another. And soon enough, Dottie Rose and Grady were lost. Not just ‘turned around’ lost—but deep in the Georgia woods with nothing but beef jerky, a busted compass, and a whole lot of hope between them.”
