Summer is a time to explore new places and meet new people. Road trips are the best way to do this, so here are some great road trip novels.

What would a road trip book list be without On the Road by Jack Kerouac? This book chronicles Kerouac’s travels across America with some of his friends during the 1940’s. This book is considered a defining work for the post war generations.

For something on the lighter side there is Royally Lost, in which a crown prince escapes his kingdom to take a road trip on his own. He meets Becca who is on a horrible family trip and together they find joy in the places around them as well as romance.

Of all the books on the list the newest is Let’s Get Lost by Adi Aldsaid. He is a debut author and this novel is an excellent read. Let’s Get Lost tells the story of Leila who is road tripping to see the Northern Lights in Alaska. Readers meet Leila through the eyes of the people she meets on her journey, so she remains a bit of mystery as the story unfolds.
