Varje söndag efter att de varit i kyrkan åker Leo och hans mormor med buss till andra sidan stan. Men en dag undrar Leo varför de inte åker bil som hans kompis Colby gör. Och varför har han inte en iPod som de andra pojkarna i bussen har? Varje fråga möts av ett uppmuntrande svar från hans mormor som hjälper Leo att se det vackra och roliga under deras resa genom staden.Sista hållplatsen är en bok som visar på det underbara perspektiv på tillvaron som bara mor- och farföräldrar och barnbarn kan dela och som kommer till uttryck i Matt de la Peñas fantasifulla text och Christian Robinsons kongeniala bilder.

Kärlek är något som ständigt följer oss genom livet. Oavsett om det är ljudet av våra föräldrars röster som vaggar oss till sömns, det glada skrattet av en farbror som berättar en skröna eller den varma omfamningen av en älskad person som säger att allt är bra är det en känsla som i sina olika former förenar oss alla.I denna bok, som är en hyllning till kärleken, skildrar den kritikerrosade författaren Matt de la Peña och illustratören Loren Long de många sätt på vilka vi upplever kärlek, det gemensamma band som bär oss från den dag vi föds och i resten av våra liv.
