Summertime is the perfect time for family vacations, and you might want to take a break from flying to spend some good ol’ family time together in the car to reach your destination. Whether it’s a two-hour trip to the beach or an 18-hour drive to Disney World, family road trips are a challenge.
There’s only so long one can play the license plate game without wanting to jump out the car window. But no matter the drive, you have to be prepared for a successful car trip, and The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook has you covered:
Hey Quirkers, are you melting yet? If you said no, you’re either lying or you possess a temperature-modulated personal bubble—which I covet. Staying cool in the sweltering heat of summer can be a challenge, but it can be done. The trick is to eat lots of ice-cold treats—because if you’re going to suffer, you’d better do it right.
Luckily for you, we’ll give you a brief respite from the humidity with the Southern Sweet Tea Pops recipe from Pops! Icy Treats for Everyone by Krystina Castella. Don’t just sip sweet tea on the porch, be even cooler than that! Eat a sweet tea popsicle—you’ll thank me later.

With Season 2 details just around the corner, here are 10 more books for fans of True Detective’s weird, gritty, place-based mystery and mythology.
