"Stone has crafted a history lesson in road-trip form....a good addition for school ­libraries seeking unconventional approaches to history. — School Library JournalPraise for Dear Martin:
A heartwarming, family-centered adventure that will leave readers guessing until the end. — Publishers Weekly, starred review"Rich in history, Stone's middle-grade debut entertains and informs young readers....A road trip to remember.
"A road novel that serves in part as a primer on important scenes and themes of the civil-rights movement... [A] poignant caper. —The Wall Street Journal 
An absolute firecracker of a book. —Booklist, starred review
“Narrator Dion Graham’s soft voice evokes the tenderness between biracial middle schooler ‘Scoob’ Lamar and G’ma, his white octogenarian grandmother. There are many other moods in this audio as well, and Graham succeeds with all of them…The mix of humor and emotions, powerful writing, and complex lessons about personal and political injustices are all marvelously expressed by Graham in this compelling listen. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“The complex role race plays in their family and on this trip—Scoob is mixed-race and presents black, and G’ma is white—is explored in a meaningful way that provides details about a period in time as well as present-day realities. Rich in history, Stone’s middle-grade debut entertains and informs young readers…A road trip to remember.” —Kirkus Reviews
