The Ride Home

by Joey Weiser

Follow the adventures of Nodo The Van-Gnome as he tries to find his lost home on wheels. During his quest he'll meet sewer dragons, junkyard trolls and a cow or two. The Ride Home revolves around the theme of home and what home is. Is it a place? Is it an occupation? Is it people? Is it a way of life? Each destination and group of characters that Nodo comes across is a different example from those questions and others.

I finally read a book thank the lord !

This book was super cute but kinda confusing at some times. I got to meet the author and he was a super sweet guy which made this book a fun experience!

A charming story of gnomes, dragons, and trolls in the city. The plot is lighthearted, the characters are appealing, and the humor is delightful.
