Illustrated by
Melissa Iwai.
Readers get a behind-the-scenes tour of a truck stop run by the young narrator's family. Rockwell's straightforward, high-energy text keeps this tribute to trucks and truck stops appealing for even the youngest truck fans. Iwai's mixed-media collage art uses texture, bright colors, and a variety of perspectives to draw readers in. Endpapers show the many types of vehicles that visit the truck stop.
