Road Trip Return by Becca Wierwille

June 06, 2025

A faith-filled international adventure for kids ages 8-12 about facing the past to embrace the future.


Daniel likes his life the way it is.


Simple. Predictable. And most importantly, just him and his older brother, Mateo. But as Mateo's wedding approaches, life is already changing. And Daniel worries Mateo’s fiancée, Skylar, will ruin everything.


When Skylar disappears a week before the ceremony, Daniel’s concerns are confirmed. Skylar is trouble. The wedding must be stopped.


Drawing on his twelve years of wisdom, Daniel vows to save his family from disaster. Even if that means traveling to Guatemala—the home of his father, and the last place he ever wanted to visit.


Daniel must sabotage the search for Skylar before Mateo makes the biggest mistake of his life.


Becca Wierwille writes stories to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives. Born with only half of her right arm, she aims to help others find beauty in what makes them extraordinary. Mom by day and novelist by relatively early in the morning, she wishes she could eat peach pie as often as most writers drink coffee.


Despite her dreams of sandy beaches and mountain peaks, she loves living in Pennsylvania with her family. Road Trip Rescue is Becca's debut novel.


Like Kimmy, the main character in Road Trip Rescue, Becca was born missing half of her right arm.


As a parent and a former teacher, she writes stories to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives. They are not perfect, but they are extraordinary, and they are loved. And every adventure will be better when they know they’re not alone.
