I really really enjoyed this book. Fast read. Especially interesting if you have siblings that stuck together through thick and thin. I am working on book #2 of the series now.

This is a wonderful, heartwarming book! I just loved it. It is written for YA, but ANYONE from 9 to 99 would enjoy it.

I agree with Carol S. and want to add that the book is (as usual) much better than the movie. (I think it was a made-for-TV movie.)

This book is about four children who are abandoned by their mother. The oldest, Dicey, is thirteen years old and is left to find food and shelter for her three youngest siblings. Great book.

This book was quite interesting. The plot had a few unexpected twists... It keeps you guessing at what will be these children's next move. A touching story of determination and love, Homecoming is a must read for anyone who is up to the journey.

Great book about children who have been abandoned. They do what they have to do to get by and they stick together. It makes me wonder what I would have done in their situation.

This is actually the first of a "young/juvenile" series my daughter brought home from high school. She was raving about it so I opened it up and that was it. I soaked up this one and the entire series to follow. These kids (led by their oldest sister, Dicey) overcome some incredible odds and change the lives of others along the way.

I read this book when I was a young teenager and it still sticks with me. Voigt has an amazing voice, and I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
