Summary: Homecoming
Review: "Where's Momma?"This is the question Dicey, a thirteen year old girl and her three siblings asked. The are abandoned in a parking lot by their mother. It is now up to Dicey to protect her brothers and sister through this intense journey to find relative that would take care of them. As well as being responsible and couragous, Dicey was very devoted to her family. She was also very determinded to get to Bridgeport, where she believed her Aunt Cilla lived. Dicey's ten year old brother, James, helped her tremendously on thier expedition to find a family. Maybeth, Dicey's only sister, was very shy, unlike her brother Sammy, who was vastly outgoing. "Momma took the keys," Dicey thought. "So we can't drive." Their only other solution was to walk to their aunt's house in Bridgeport. She was the only relative they knew of. Would Dicey make it more than 100 miles with two brothers and a sister, when she had only seven dollars in her pocket? The story, Homecoming, had many themes. One theme is "always stay together" because if Dicey had traveled alone and something happened, she wouldn't survive. Another theme is, "everything happens for a reason" because if the Tillermans' mom didn't leave them, Dicey and her family would have never been able to meet their other relatives. This novel is rich in vocabulary and beautiful language. Cynthia Voigt uses wonderful sensory descriptions and language. An example of this is when she says, "twilight crept over the water towards them, dainty as a mouse". The author allows you to visualize what is happening so you feel like you are actually there. Will Dicey and her family ever survive?

Summary: Couldn't Put it Down!
Review: I just got done reading this book. It took a very short time. I really enjoy Cynthia Voigt's books. She writes them very well. Homecoming made me want to cry at the end of it. Can't wait to start Dicey's Song next. I read Come A Stranger first before I relized that it was part of the Tillerman's series, which is where I learned about this great author.

Review: I thought it was a wonderful book. It kept you in suspense the whole time. Anyone who enjoys realistic fiction will love this book. I didn't want it to end. I also read Dicey's Song and Seventeen Against the Dealer and they were all very good, but I must say that Homecoming was the best.

Review: "Homecoming" by Cynthia Voigt is about a young girl determined to find a place for her and her siblings to call home. They walk for miles from town to town, looking for family members that will take them in. What I liked best about this book was the detailed descriptions of the settings, mood, and people. The plot was also very interesting. I liked everything about this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book to read.
