How would you feel if your mother abandoned you with no money, no food, and shelter? This book is called “Homecoming” by Cynthia Voigt. Dicey is only 13 years old and she now has to take responsibility of her 3 younger siblings. I was really shocked on how their mother left them alone, I also felt anger towards the mother because where did she wander off? Why did she leave her kids there? Their mother didn’t even give them a hug or kiss, she just disappears in the mall and leaves her kids in the car. It’s been hours and all they know is that the mall closed and they don’t know where their mother is. Dicey has to find a way to get money, food, and shelter. They go on a long walk across the country to find their Aunt Celia’s, who they never met. They later find out something tragic and they meet someone who they thought they would never meet. Who could it be?
Great start to this post! But where are your thoughts? I want more than a summary. Let us know what you thought about the book.
