The Adventures of Quint the Bookmobile: The Big Move to Roneyville

The Adventures of Quint the Bookmobile: The Big Move to Roneyville
By Kathleen Quinton

Did you know that books are delivered to children all over the world?
By camel… by elephant… and by bookmobile, too.

Quint is not just any bookmobile—he was built with care, purpose, and a little bit of courage by three generations who believed he had something meaningful to give.

When Quint leaves the comfort of his familiar home to begin a brand-new journey, he faces a feeling many children know well—
What if I’m not ready? What if I’m not liked?

Through gentle storytelling, this heartwarming story helps children navigate change with confidence—showing that courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid… it means you move forward anyway.

Along the way, children will discover:

• how to face new experiences with confidence
• the importance of kindness, sharing, and helping others
• a love of books, learning, and the “keys” to knowledge

This interactive story invites children to search for hidden keys throughout the pages—making reading both fun and engaging.

Perfect for:

• children ages 3–7 (read aloud)
• ages 8+ (independent readers)
• families navigating a move, new school, or life transition
• classrooms and reading groups, with thoughtful discussion questions included

Warm, grounding, and quietly inspiring, Quint’s story reminds us that stepping outside our comfort zone is often where something wonderful begins.

The first story in the Adventures of Quint the Bookmobile series.

Growing up in a progressive New England town, Kathy Quinton would eagerly wait for the bookmobile to arrive every week with its treasures. In this, her first children's book, Kathy shares her passion that books offer the keys to knowledge and should be available to everyone who wants them, no matter where they live.

 
When not creating adventures for Quint, Kathy works as a certified personal and professional coach. Her first book for grown-ups is titled Question Your Thoughts, Empower Your Life: Release Negativity and Live The Life Of Your Dreams.

Kathy lives in Massachusetts with her husband, who runs the real-life big red shop where bookmobiles truly do come to life.
