Terror On The Turnpike

By Rebecca Somoskey

Middle Grade Adventure from Bearwallow Mountain, Virginia; Soft cover booklet; 51/2 by 81/2 inches: 38 pages

At last! Tommy is thrilled at the prospect of his perfect summer vacation. His mom has to take a summer class at the local community college. And he is looking at two full weeks to ride with his dad on his tractor-trailer without his bossy twin sister, Tina. Maybe all summer, if things work out like they have planned. No nagging, no criticizing, no being embarrassed in front of others. What could be better than that?

Then things change. Tina’s aunt, with whom she was going to spend the summer, becomes ill, so Tina has to go with Tommy and their Dad.

The next two weeks find the twins trying to coexist in the 8ft X 8ft cab of a Freightliner Classic. Sometimes it is almost unbearable for Tommy, but after encountering and surviving a runaway truck, the rescue of a lost cat at a toll booth on the Chicago beltway, and Tommy meeting the girl of his dreams, they begin to tolerate one another. Then their Dad gets very ill on the Oklahoma Turner Turnpike and passes out at the wheel. Can Tommy and Tina in their terror forget their differences and work together to get the rig off the road?
