A Teacher's Guide is available for Hitting the Road. It includes lesson plans, a plot synopsis, background material, discussion questions, graphic organizers, after-reading activities and a quiz.

Teacher’s guides are regularly $7.95. A teacher’s guide is included at no charge if six or more copies of a single title are ordered. The guide is added automatically for Internet orders; if using the print order form, simply write “free” in the teacher’s guide column.
