Are We There Yet? [Hardcover] Lester, Alison

Grace is about to spend three months traveling through Africa, Europe, and the Middle East with her family — and she's documenting every moment. From camel rides in the Sahara to sleeping under the stars in the desert, from ancient ruins to crowded markets, this is a journey told through a kid's eyes: the wonder, the homesickness, the weird food, the unexpected friendships. Alison Lester based this story on her own family's real-life expedition, and that authenticity shines through in every page. The illustrations are rich with detail, the humor is genuine, and Grace's voice feels refreshingly honest. It's the kind of book that makes kids dream about passports and parents secretly wish they were braver. Perfect for armchair travelers, families planning their own adventures, or anyone who's ever asked "are we there yet?" from the backseat. Sitting at 4.13 on Goodreads with over 1,800 ratings.
