About this listen

 On Saturday morning, 13-year-old Dicey Tillerman sits in the car at the shopping mall with her younger sister and two brothers. Momma had said, "You be good." Then she walked away. They wait for a day and a night, but Momma never comes back. Finally, Dicey decides the children should go to Bridgeport, Connecticut where Aunt Cilla lives. Maybe Momma is waiting for them there. But they don't have enough money to take the bus. Determined to keep the family together, Dicey sets off on foot with her siblings in search of Aunt Cilla. Soon, she discovers that finding a home and making one aren't always the same thing. Newbery Award-winning author Cynthia Voigt has captured the hearts of millions of young adults with her poignant tale of a young girl struggling with adult responsibilities. With her glowing narration, Barbara Caruso vividly brings to life each exciting adventure the children experience as they travel in search of a place to call home.©1981 Cynthia Voigt (P)1992 Recorded Books,LLC Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Heartfelt

I really enjoyed listening to this. The narration was slow and steady so you could enjoy it fully.
Although written for children, the series can be enjoyed by all ages. Dicey and her little family will captivate you so you will hope that their long journey will take them Home.

I love the progression of the storyline. The little adventures go on and surprising people to help them out along the way. The underlying reason for the story is so sad,but well written. I have just bought it for my 12 Yr old daughter to read,after she listened to some of mine. ( I'm visually impaired and can no longer read,audio books are a God send!)

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Somebody who has time to waste

Has Homecoming put you off other books in this genre?

Definitely by this author

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Did not finish it as got to the point when I had had enough and would not even recommend it.

What character would you cut from Homecoming?

Not worth commenting on.

Any additional comments?

This book should have been radically culled. If we heard about the children's food choices (mostly the same) and the dreary monotonous listing of every tiny detail once, the same tune was played over and over. Just dreadful. I got to the end of the first half and lost the will to carry on.. Believe me I tried to be fair and hoped it would get better...so have no idea how it ends.

Utterly boring, slow and repetitive
