Synopsis

Five newly blended siblings on a wild road trip to Yellowstone—welcome to the familymoon (aka a honeymoon with the whole crew)! What starts as a disaster becomes...an even bigger disaster. But along the way in this laugh-out-loud adventure, something unexpected happens: this chaotic bunch becomes a family.

Five new step-siblings
Two frazzled grown-ups
One borrowed RV (that's seen better days)
One escaped pet snake
Three weeks in Yellowstone National Park
What could possibly go wrong?

Ride along with Cricket, Flossie, Parker, Newt, and Darwin as they navigate unexpected animal encounters, inexplicably terrible food, ridiculously tight spaces, alarming practical jokes and—most of all—figuring out how to be a family, in this humorous and heartwarming story.

*Includes a downloadable PDF of illustrations and photographs from the printed book

Goodreads review by Kim on May 15, 2026

A delightful yet tender look at blended family. The sudden switches in POVs made this read like a film. I love stories that showcase the complexities of families.
