The Road Trip Rescue Series

Faith-Filled Adventures for Kids

These contemporary adventures for kids ages 8-12 feature themes of faith, travel, family, and friendship. While characters overlap from one book to the next, the books in the Road Trip Rescue series can also be read as standalones. Reading them in order makes for the best experience!

There are three books planned for this series in total. Book 1, Road Trip Rescue, is available now. Book 2, Road Trip Return, releases this fall. And more news about book 3 will be coming soon!

Who is the Road Trip Rescue series for?

  • Kids ages 8-12
  • Those who love reading true-to-life adventures and friendship and family stories with quirky characters
  • Readers who feel alone, isolated, insecure, or not sure how they fit into the world
  • Grown-ups who want their kids to read books with imperfect characters who make mistakes and experience the consequences of their actions, in order to see the depths of God’s grace and redemption.

Why this series?

My goal in writing is to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives.

In Road Trip Rescue (book one), Kimmy has lots of fun adventures, but her journey gets much better when she realizes she’s not alone.

In Road Trip Return (book two), Daniel thinks he knows what is best. But everything changes when he realizes he can trust God’s plans for his family instead.

book 1 (Available Now!)

Road Trip Rescue

A heartwarming adventure for kids ages 8-12 with a missing dog, a determined girl, a pink-haired aunt, and themes of faith and friendship.

Twelve-year-old Kimmy trusts dogs more than people.

After all, her dog Bo never made fun of her for having one hand. But two years ago, Bo disappeared.

When Kimmy stumbles across a magazine photo of a dog in upstate New York that looks just like Bo, she knows she has to find him. Her parents seem oddly unsupportive, but pink-haired, adventure-hungry Aunt Skylar agrees to a road trip with a stop in the Adirondacks. Kimmy jumps at the chance to bring her furry family member home.

Unfortunately, Aunt Skylar’s idea of a road trip isn’t the rescue mission Kimmy had in mind.

Book 2 (Coming Soon!)

Road Trip Return

A faith-filled international adventure for kids ages 8-12 about facing the past to embrace the future.

Daniel likes his life the way it is.

Simple. Predictable. And most importantly, just him and his older brother, Mateo. But as Mateo’s wedding approaches, life is already changing. And Daniel worries Mateo’s fiancée, Skylar, will ruin everything.

When Skylar disappears a week before the ceremony, Daniel’s concerns are confirmed. Skylar is trouble. The wedding must be stopped.

Drawing on his twelve years of wisdom, Daniel vows to save his family from disaster. Even if that means traveling to Guatemala—the home of his father, and the last place he ever wanted to visit.

Daniel must sabotage the search for Skylar before Mateo makes the biggest mistake of his life.
