Pete Daniels is fifteen. At first, he would rather hide under a rock than take a three-week driving vacation throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with his family—mother, father, younger brother, and even younger sister. But go he does. And to his amazement he learns almost everything there is to learn about Pennsylvania and the art of traveling—while having fun!
By combining the enjoyable fiction of Pete’s personal story with a real look at Pennsylvania through the family’s eyes, and with many archival, resource photographs, the author imparts volumes of interesting information to the reader: historical figures, geological formations, religious sects (Amish, Ephrata Cloister, Mennonite), mushrooms, the Concord Grape Belt, Civil War battlegrounds, the Liberty Bell, and more…
This is a book for every motorist whose car becomes a vacation-time, family magic carpet. It is for Pennsylvanians particularly, for every child growing up in the commonwealth. It is a must-have for school and public libraries, for civic and business groups and for the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce.
T. R. Ricekit has lived in southeastern Pennsylvania for more than 20 years. During this time, she has visited every corner of the Keystone State, marveling at its historical, geological, architectural, environmental, and cultural wonders.
