- W4245232425 abstract "Reviewed by: Riding Out the Storm Deborah Stevenson Deans, Sis . Riding Out the Storm. Holt, 2012. [176p]. ISBN 978-0-8050-9355-1 $15.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad Gr. 6-9. It's a long way from Maine to New Jersey, especially on a Greyhound bus in the winter. Eighth-grader Zach, making the trip with his grandfather, is keenly aware of this fact, but it's also the only way he can visit his older brother, Derek, who's in a psychiatric institution in New Jersey in treatment for his bipolar disorder. The long night on the road gives Zach a chance to reflect on Derek and the rest of his family; he also finds himself gradually sharing confidences with a punky high-school girl. Deans effectively captures the strange situational intimacy of a dark night on the road, with secrets shared between people who don't actually know each other's name (the girl is just Purplehead, for her dyed hair, from start to finish) and would never otherwise connect. The book mines additional atmosphere from the winter landscape and the difficult travel, including a slide of the bus off the road, which provides an undertone of unease to intensify the situation. Less successful, though, is the story about Derek, which isn't developed enough to be interesting, let alone as interesting as the bus ride itself, and ends up as a distracting frame rather than an underlying issue addressed by the main action. The trip itself remains rewarding, however, and readers will be drawn into imagining how their own lives might be changed by hopping a Hound.
