This book was amazing, and I really loved it, because I could feel the rush of Coyote getting to her goal, and finding out who she really is along the way. You would like this book if you like action.

On their way to a sandwich shop the bus picks up many passengers, and coyote finally feels what it is like to have a family again. The ending is a happy sad and made me cry in front of my classmates! Kind of embarrassing but worth it! READ THIS BOOK!

It is an amazing journey on how Coyote and Rodeo (Her father, but don't mention the around him) went back to their home to get a memory of their lost loved ones. It's an amazing mix of humor, adventure, and memories. It's sad how Coyotes sisters and mom passed away, but also really good. Some language in it which may not be the best for kids, but otherwise really good. This is a book that I will always look back to.

It isn't often that a book makes you stop and remember someone you've lost in a new light- but this one sure did. Coyote and her father, Rodeo, have been traveling cross-country in a school bus in an attempt to leave the loss of Coyote's mother and sisters behind them. Their names have been changed, and any thought of their deceased family has been pushed away- at least, for Coyote's dad, that is. Coyote still thinks of them every day, and one memory that's especially vivid is the time capsule she, her mom, and her sisters buried in a park in her hometown- well, what used to be her hometown. After receiving a call from her grandma that the park is being destroyed- and the capsule will be gone with it- Coyote hatches a plan to travel all the way back to Montana, while satisfying the needs of the motley crew she meets along the journey. This book made me laugh! It made me cry! It was refreshing, cozy, and sweet, the equivalent of hot chocolate for the soul (or a slushie, if you're Coyote!) 5/5!

Twelve-year-old Coyote and Rodeo (her father, but don't tell him that!) rush to Poplin Springs, Washington in their old school bus to save a memory box buried by coyote's dead mother and sisters in a park that will soon be demolished. This book literally made me cry. It had a special way of describing grief and sadness. I loved this book and I think everyone should read it. Plus Coyote and Rodeo have good taste in books.

Coyote lives with her dad, Rodeo, (but don't call him dad) in an old school bus. Her mom and sisters died in a car accident and they left behind their old life. When she calls her grandma, and finds out that they're digging up the park in her old hometown where she and her mother and sisters hid a time capsule, she has to go back to Montana. She meets some people and to-be friends and are making their way each, to their destination. Can Coyote get back in time before the time capsule is destroyed? I give this book 5 stars, and there is a lot of cuss words, so readers above 9 would be good.

This was a SUPER good book...I don't even know where to start saying how good it is. It's about a girl named Coyote Sunrise ( she got to change her own name) who lives in a school bus- turned- RV with her kind but alcoholic dad, Rodeo. The story begins with Coyote offering a Slushie to a boy at a gas station. She ends up with a mute kitten named Ivan, who should be counted as a main character. After a disturbing phone call from her grandma, she convinces Rodeo to drive her home to Montana, and picks up the help of a musician named Lester. After a close run- in with the police, she gives Salvador Vega and his mom a ride. Throughout the book, more and more people and animals hitch a ride, including Salvador's aunt, a car repair woman named Tammy, a goat named Gladys, and so on. But when they reach her destination, Coyote finds that a policeman, a bulldozer, and Rodeo could take everything she's come for: a shoe box. Why is a box so important? Well, her mom and sisters died years ago, and she will lose all her memories of them if she does not FIND THAT BOX. This book made me cry even though I am very meh in terms of facial expressions. It's jam-packed with quirky people, sadness, joy, action, and Slushies, and will make you laugh, cry, and shudder every second! I love this book, and this is definitely Dan Gemeinhart's best book!

I don't even know where I should start. The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise had me laughing, tearing up, smiling, blocking out the rest of the world, then finally crying my eyes out!! First, any book with 'hippies' like these is truly remarkable, and I love the entire crew, animals included. There are definitely some books that make you go "oh, I really liked this!! It might be an new favorite!!" but then forget all about it the next day. This was not one of these books. This book, I cannot even describe in words like those. This is just straight up BEAUTIFUL. I recommend this, and other books by Dan Gemeinhart, to any fellow reader who can stand a bit of heartbreak!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd give this 6 stars if I could!!!!!!!
