Last Stop on Market Street

Written by Matt de la Peña and Illustrated by Christian Robinson

Every Sunday after church, CJ rides the bus across town with his Nana, and today he has a lot of questions. Why do they have to wait in the rain? Why don't they have a car like his friends? But with every question, Nana helps CJ see the beauty, music, and magic all around him that he almost missed. Where is their bus headed, and what will CJ discover when they finally arrive?
