Ever wonder what it’s like to thumb from Atlantic to Pacific and back again? We Picked Up puts you right on the travel route alongside two seventeen-year-old friends, and asks you to rely on your wits. This adventurous, funny, and spirited novel, based on a true story, is two teenage boys’ expansive search for meaning and truth in our increasingly jaded American culture. Whether through laughter or tears, We Picked Up reminds us we’re all in this together.
