A tale of community and ingenuity from the celebrated Chris Van Dusen, inspired by a true story.When a big truck and its big load get stuck on a narrow road, traffic on the little island comes to a halt. Some cars need to go south and some have to travel north. How will Meg get to her swim meet? What about Barry's ballet class? Luckily, the kidscome up with an ingenious solution: why not just swap cars?

His expressive characters add humor to the situation.-The Horn Book (starred review)An excellent lesson in kindness and problem-solving. . .

This study in quick-thinking and neighborliness is bound to earn demands to read it again.-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksSpinning a tale based on a real incident that occurred on the island town of Vinalhaven in Maine, Van Dusen portrays what happens when a really big flatbed truck carrying a mysterious, covered load across a small island gets stuck on a tight curve and blocks traffic in both directions. . . .
