4。5/5Absolutely loved this continuation of Coyote’s story!! I enjoyed getting to see some familiar characters while also getting introduced to some new and lovable ones as well。 Once again, Dan Gemeinhart wrote about such heavy topic in such a great way。 With topics such as grief, racism, among other things in this story, we get more depth to the characters and it helps the readers connect to them on such a deeper level。 I loved following Coyote on her journey, but my heart hurt a little every t 4。5/5Absolutely loved this continuation of Coyote’s story!! I enjoyed getting to see some familiar characters while also getting introduced to some new and lovable ones as well。 Once again, Dan Gemeinhart wrote about such heavy topic in such a great way。 With topics such as grief, racism, among other things in this story, we get more depth to the characters and it helps the readers connect to them on such a deeper level。 I loved following Coyote on her journey, but my heart hurt a little every time she lied to Rodeo about it even though I know she had her reasons。 I also feel like we got to see Rodeo and Coyote’s relationship grow more in this book。 Overall, I am so glad I read this book。 Some of the quotes just cannot be beat and I will be thinking about this story for a while to come。 How did I get so lucky that I got the chance to read these books and love these characters as much as I do? 。。。more

A sequel to Coyote Sunrise?!? Yes, please! This book did not disappoint。 I was brought right back to the bus immediately! I love the way Dan Gemeinhart wrote about the sensitive topics Coyote has to navigate。 Excited to get it in the hands of my students。

The sequel to "The Remarkable Journey。 of Coyote Sunrise" - a heartwarming middle-grade novel。 I listened to the first book last year, and fell in love with the character of Coyote and her dad, Rodeo。A year after their first adventure comes to an end, Coyote finds a box of her mothers ashes that her dad had hidden away for the last six years。 They decide that they are finally ready to scatter the ashes at her desired final resting place, which she had written in a book of poetry。 The only proble The sequel to "The Remarkable Journey。 of Coyote Sunrise" - a heartwarming middle-grade novel。 I listened to the first book last year, and fell in love with the character of Coyote and her dad, Rodeo。A year after their first adventure comes to an end, Coyote finds a box of her mothers ashes that her dad had hidden away for the last six years。 They decide that they are finally ready to scatter the ashes at her desired final resting place, which she had written in a book of poetry。 The only problem is, this book was turned in to a thrift store somewhere along their last journey。 While keeping the missing book a secret from her dad, the pair set out on another cross-country adventure on their bus at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic。 The Coyote Sunrise books are perfect for middle-grade readers - tackling relatable themes of friendship and family, while also exploring themes of grief and moving on after loss。 The sequel is just as great as the first - really hoping there is a third book in the series! 。。。more

Voice is important。 Whether it's in hearing the voice of someone close to us when we remember who they are。 Or were。 Or it's the voice of a character who lives inside us from the moment we meet them on the very first page。 Its the voice in these words: "Sometimes stories start with a bang, and sometimes stories start with a whisper, and sometimes stories start with a robbery or a car chase or a fistfight or someone being born or someone dying。 Sometimes stories start with a kitten。 I mean, the f Voice is important。 Whether it's in hearing the voice of someone close to us when we remember who they are。 Or were。 Or it's the voice of a character who lives inside us from the moment we meet them on the very first page。 Its the voice in these words: "Sometimes stories start with a bang, and sometimes stories start with a whisper, and sometimes stories start with a robbery or a car chase or a fistfight or someone being born or someone dying。 Sometimes stories start with a kitten。 I mean, the funny thing about stories is that they don't really start or stop at all。。。 It's just the telling that starts or stops。" These words live and breathe the voice of Coyote, as if her story never really stopped after The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, which feels like it never really had a start, either, because once you get to know Coyote, once you read her words and hear her and live her, it feels as if she has always been a part of you, as if her voice has always been a part of you。 And returning to her story, in Coyote Lost and Found, is like finding something again you hadn't quite realized was lost these last three years。 But there she is, and really there she was all along, in the words。 Written with the utmost care and strength ever, by Dan Gemeinhart, who holds them ever so carefully, just for us。 And by Coyote。 And Ella。 And all the parts of her that make up the whole of all of us。 It's the something, and the someone, that we knew all along。 And this voice is singing。 I love this book。 I love this book。 I love this book。 I love this book。 。。。more

This is one of those rare books where the second one is just as good as the first。 Coyote Lost and Found deals with some pretty heavy emotions, but as always there is friendship and humor。 This book was a quick read and picks back up where the first one left off。 I think kids her age can relate to the pressures of fitting in and trying to navigate identity。 Losing yourself and picking up the pieces of messes that everyone makes。 The theme is beautifully presented and I might just like this book This is one of those rare books where the second one is just as good as the first。 Coyote Lost and Found deals with some pretty heavy emotions, but as always there is friendship and humor。 This book was a quick read and picks back up where the first one left off。 I think kids her age can relate to the pressures of fitting in and trying to navigate identity。 Losing yourself and picking up the pieces of messes that everyone makes。 The theme is beautifully presented and I might just like this book a little better than the first one。 。。。more

Coyote and Rodeo's perspective on life is just so refreshing! Could they be any cooler? I enjoyed this sequel more than the first novel。 I loved following this duo through their journey。 Even as an adult, this book kept my attention and I found the narrator enjoyable。 Although this is a sequel, I do think you could read this as a standalone。 The author did a nice job of reminding us of key details from the first novel。 Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity to read this A Coyote and Rodeo's perspective on life is just so refreshing!

I hugged my Kindle when I finished this book! Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have finally settled down in a permanent home after driving around the country for 5 years in their school bus-turned-home, named Yager。 Just as Covid hits, Coyote discovers her deceased mother's cremated remains aboard Yager。 She feels like she might be able to let her mother go by scattering her ashes。 Her dad struggles with this decision, but he agrees that it's a step in the right direction towards healing。 Luckily, Coyote's parents both wrote down their desired final resting places inside of a book。 All Coyote has to do is look inside the book and she'll know where she and Rodeo need to go to scatter her mom's ashes。 The problem is that the book is missing。 She must have sold it to a used bookstore during their earlier epic cross-country journey。 She narrows her search down to a few thrift shops and used bookstores in several different states。 She just has to convince Rodeo to keep driving without him knowing that she doesn't have the book。 Along the way, they pick up an old friend and make several new ones。 This story is at times bittersweet and sad, but mostly quirky and hilariously funny。 Coyote, Rodeo, and their band of hitchhikers are the kinds of friends we'd all be lucky to have。 This series is one of my favorites。 I'm always down for a road trip with Coyote, Rodeo, and Yager! 。。。more

I don't know Dan Gemeinhart's process or anything but I feel like Coyote's story comes to him naturally instead of him having to work so hard for it。 (In other words, it's like a gift。 And, I know that if it comes off as that easy, then it's actually in fact hard work。) Anyway, a new adventure begins when Coyote discovers her mother's ashes leading to a cross country trip to find a misplaced book that may contain where she wanted her ashes to be scattered。 The emotions are there and it's quite a I don't know Dan Gemeinhart's process or anything but I feel like Coyote's story comes to him naturally instead of him having to work so hard for it。 (In other words, it's like a gift。 And, I know that if it comes off as that easy, then it's actually in fact hard work。) Anyway, a new adventure begins when Coyote discovers her mother's ashes leading to a cross country trip to find a misplaced book that may contain where she wanted her ashes to be scattered。 The emotions are there and it's quite a wild ride she'll undertake but I was a bit thrown off when this took place during the start of the pandemic。 Other than that, readers will enjoy taking another trip with Coyote。 。。。more

Even though this book is about grief and loss, it may just be the feel good story on the year。 Coyote Lost and Found by Dan Gemeinhart, is the sequel to The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, which was a wonderful story and then he writes this which is just as wonderful。 He includes enough background that it can be read as a stand alone, but you don’t want to miss the first adventure。 Coyote and her dad concluded their never-ending journey in the first book and have settled into a house once Even though this book is about grief and loss, it may just be the feel good story on the year。 Coyote Lost and Found by Dan Gemeinhart, is the sequel to The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, which was a wonderful story and then he writes this which is just as wonderful。 He includes enough background that it can be read as a stand alone, but you don’t want to miss the first adventure。 Coyote and her dad concluded their never-ending journey in the first book and have settled into a house once again。 Coyote attends middle school and is feeling all the feelings that go along with fitting in。 She doesn’t! Rodeo has befriended his female neighbor, Candace, and all is going along fairly well until Coyote finds her mother's ashes。 She asks her dad about them and he admits that he hid them from her。 The couple had a plan and dad has failed to carry it out。 Here’s the plan… both Coyote's parents wrote down in a book of poetry what they wanted done with their ashes upon their death。 They wrote on different pages and taped the pages together。 This is in the event should something happen to one of them and the other would know the others wishes。 Rodeo admits that he has never looked in the book to see what his wife had written, and asks Coyote to do it for him。 When Coyote goes to find the book, she realizes that she must have traded it in with a stack of books at one of the many used book stores they visited while journeying around the country。 She is able to narrow down the possibilities to four bookstore。 The story is set during the Covid 19 pandemic and schools are closed, so, she, Rodeo, Candace and her only friend, Salvador, fire up the old school bus named Yeager and head out on a road trip to scatter her mom's ashes。 She’s not delighted with Candace being on the quest, but Rodeo says another driver will help them cover more ground faster。 It seems Candace and Rodeo have become an item。 But here’s the catch, Coyote hasn't told Rodeo that she doesn't have her mom's book, and therefore, doesn't know what she is to do with the ashes。 So Rodeo thinks they are headed in the direction of the final resting place for ashes when in reality they are tracing their steps back to used bookstores。 The party of four pick up a couple of interesting passengers along the way making for a more adventurous experience。 Is it even possible that the book will still be in one of those stores?

Dan Gemeinhart is officially an all time favorite middle grade author。 I LOVED this follow up to The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise。 This had the same spirit as the first book - a journey, a great cast of characters, and a very meaningful story about how we deal with grief。 Coyote is a great protagonist and I loved having the opportunity to go on another adventure in the bus with her。If you are interested in checking this out, I HIGHLY encourage you to read the first book first。**I receive Dan Gemeinhart is officially an all time favorite middle grade author。 I LOVED this follow up to The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise。 This had the same spirit as the first book - a journey, a great cast of characters, and a very meaningful story about how we deal with grief。 Coyote is a great protagonist and I loved having the opportunity to go on another adventure in the bus with her。If you are interested in checking this out, I HIGHLY encourage you to read the first book first。**I received an e-ARC from NetGalley and Henry Holt and Co。 (BYR) in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
