Veronica is a smart, spunky and responsible girl who spends the bulk of her time keeping her little brother Gee out of trouble. While on an RV trip through Kansas with her estranged grandfather and Gee, she encounters adventure, mishaps, and friendship. The challenges she faces lead to personal growth that extends beyond the philosophy in her favorite self-help book, yet the book maintains a lighthearted tone throughout. This entertaining novel has great humour and keeps a fast pace with Gee

This is a Texas Bluebonnet book for 2008. I picked it up hoping my daughter would enjoy it. Instead, I started reading it, and couldn't put it down. I loved the family relationships - two of the characters are flawed, but the members of the family grow in love and understanding and patience with one another through the book.

Texas Bluebonnet for next year. Ronnie takes off on a summer adventure when her grandfather agrees to allow her and her brother, Gee, to accompany him in his work (a wind prospector). Having never been an active part of the family before, Ronnie's grandfather is in for a huge surprise when he realizes that Gee is ADHD and always stirring up mischief. This book was too slow for me to really enjoy, but it was interesting to read about Gee...I learned a lot about what it would be like to have a

Very good young adult book. I liked the story line about families and that we are never to old or too young to learn about life and relationships.

I liked the voice, but had to push myself to finish it because the pace was too slow.

Ronnie Sparks, 12, is organized and responsible for her younger brother Gee, most of the time. Gee's ADHD makes her life chaotic. Her chance to 'get away' comes when her grandfather agrees to take Ronnie and Gee in his RV, while prospecting for wind in Kansas. Bluebonnet nominee 08-09.

I enjoyed this book and liked the ending, but found it to be slow in some places. It will be interesting to see how the bluebonnet readers feel about this one.

This was a cute book about a girl that has to deal with having an ADHD brother. A lot of kids will be able to relate to the characters.

Would make a great read aloud
Strong boy and girl characters
Boy has ADHD and it is handled realistically.
