Destiny Faraday makes a point of keeping a distance from her classmates at Hedgebrook Academy. Routine and predictability help her stick to her number-one rule: Don’t get attached. But one day, with the crumpling of a calendar page and an odd encounter with a mysterious stranger, routine and predictability are turned on end. Unexpectedly finding a car at their disposal, Destiny and three of her classmates embark on an unauthorized road trip, searching for one fair day – a day where the good guy wins and everything adds up to something just and right. The Miles Between explores the absurdities of life, friendship, and fate – and also the moments of grace and wonder. You never know where a road trip might take you.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7–10—Routine and predictability are the backbone of 17-year-old Destiny Faraday's days at Hedgebrook Academy in Mary E. Pearson's novel (Holt, 2009). She has everything down to a system guaranteed to keep her from getting too close to anyone because, after all, she may not be here that long. Destiny's life has been a long series of boarding schools ever since her parents sent her away at age 7. But one day unexpected things begin to happen. Destiny crumples the calendar page, gets unsettling news at breakfast, cuts class to go to the garden, meets a mysterious stranger, and finds a car running in the driveway. Destiny and three other students take off on an unauthorized road trip searching for that "one fair day" where the good guys win and everything is just and right. What ensues is a touching, often funny, sometimes enlightening, and often improbably strange day. Jeannie Stith perfectly portrays all the characters.—Cynde Suite, Bartow County Public Library System, Cartersville, GA
