Charlie and Me: 421 Miles from Home

(2) 4-6 An unreliable narrator turns this road-trip adventure story into something more complex--exploring loss, responsibility, and the power of fortuitous meetings. The narrative moves back and forth between Martin and younger brother Charlie's current trip and an earlier family vacation--punctuated by excerpts from Martin's poetry journal--as readers gradually learn the reason for the journey. Martin and Charlie are effective foils for each other, and their brotherly banter is entertaining.
