{"product_id":"a-song-for-the-road-rayne-lacko-9781684630028","title":"A Song for the Road","description":"When a tornado destroys his Tulsa home, fifteen-year-old Carter Danforth is trapped in the pawnshop where his father hawked his custom, left-handed Martin guitar six years earlier before taking off, leaving him with nothing but a hankering to pluck strings and enough heartache to sing the blues. Carter's mother, meanwhile, is injured during the storm and winds up in the hospital. She wants Carter to fly out to Reno and stay with her sister, but he's already spent her hidden cash stash to buy his dad's guitar. Rather than tell her the truth, he embarks on an epic road trip in search of his father in California. But Carter isn't a runaway. He reckons he's a \"running to.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the road, Carter picks up licks, chord changes, and performance techniques from a quirky cast of southwestern charmers: a rock star, a thief, a bluesman, a chanteuse-turned-chef, and the dream of a girl back home. By the time he reaches the end of old US Route 66, Carter has learned how to deep-fry yucca blossoms--and tell the truth of his life through music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rayne Lacko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684630029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684630028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sparkpress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/2019 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2019 - Recommended - Better Than Most","brand":"Rayne Lacko","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937293467903,"sku":"9781684630028","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ce2323da-766b-4f18-a9d0-ed618866c136.jpg?v=1681429219","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-song-for-the-road-rayne-lacko-9781684630028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
