11 Books About Road Trips to Fuel Your Wanderlust

"Hurricane Girl" ($17)

"Hurricane Girl" is equal parts comedy and horror. Allison is looking for a do-over when she buys her dream house in North Carolina, only to see it washed away in a hurricane. Allison is an unreliable narrator who makes messy, puzzling, impulsive choices as she tries to find her next step, which makes this book about a road trip hard to put down. A harrowing road trip from North Carolina to Allison's mother's house in New Jersey is made even more nail-biting because she's driving with a head injury.
