Missouri to Oklahoma
(2025)(The second book in the Coopers Do Route 66 series)
A Story by Robert Elmer
But we were only trying to help!
Chicago, 1961: For years, Coop and Jenny Cooper have been planning how to escape their not-so-nice foster parents. But where would they go? California, of course! Coop hopes they’ll find their mom there… somehow. So when a grandpa they’ve never met shows up at the Crespin home, they grab their bags and hide in the back of his big yellow taxi. And so begins a wild ride down Route 66, through eight states on the way (they hope!) to the West Coast. Sure, Coop and Jenny discover America along the way. But is there any chance of finding their true family?
In Book 2: Missouri to Oklahoma, Coop and Jenny go to work to help raise gas money for Grandpa Reno. But they didn’t know what a disaster that would turn out to be!
