From children's author Linda Bailey comes a funny and sweet cross-country road trip adventure with a sweet septuagenarian and her quirky canine. Feisty Annie Magruder and her dog, Carson, live in British Columbia, Canada, and they're getting out to visit her sister, Elsie, in Newfoundland. In their little rattlebang car, packed with Carson's favourite toy, Squeaky Chicken, and plenty of baloney sandwiches, Annie and Carson hit the road!
