Reviews
"Woven with hilarity, tenderness, and the chaos of life on the road, Big Rig is a charming novel about growing up."--Foreword Reviews

"[An] action-packed novel. . . . The heroine charms completely, as does this portrait of life on the road."--Publishers Weekly

"There are hilarious moments, some mysticism, and heart-stopping adventures. . . . Hazel is innocent, wise, trusting, loving, capable, creative--and a total delight; readers will root for her all the way. . . . An unusual modern picaresque romp with a lovely message."--Kirkus Reviews

"Hazel's loving relationship with her father forms the core of this unusual roadtrip adventure . . . . Hawes creates a story that is wholesome without being hokey, and readers looking for a feel-good adventure should come along for the ride."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Hawes' breezy tale will capture readers' attention, piquing their interest through highway high jinks and keeping them wondering about where Hazmat's adventures will take them next. An original tweak on the road trip story." --Booklist
