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 Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Heartfelt

The Tillerman children are so natural, so brave, so resourceful in their struggle to survive the tragedy that caused them to be alone. It is written so well that it is gripping for both children and adults. The questions from our grandchildren indicated they were suddenly realising that not everyone has a happy Homelife and two loving parents. It presents the opportunity to discuss resourcefulness, honesty, loyalty and risk.

I remembered this book as one I couldn’t put down when I first read it about age 10. I read it again and it was still just as good.

A true classic
