MY HOMECOMING REVIEW

This novel is all about four kid's journey to find where they belong in the world. It all starts when their mother, Mrs. Tillerman, leaves them behind in their family's car as she walks away into their crowded local mall's parking lot. They are now left to survive with the guidance of their oldest sister, Dicey, who is thirteen. All they have to live off of for several weeks is the seven dollars Dicey had in her pocket, one bagged lunch for each child, and a small suitcase that their mother packed them before she left. Because Dicey's parents were divorced when she was very young, Dicey is only aware of one living family member. This is her Aunt Cilla, who she knows nothing about. With the help of her Aunt's address that Dicey's mom made her memorize, the Tillerman children travel for weeks in search of their future guardian.
This book is very good,and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading realistic books.

Unforgettable Homecoming!

This is a wonderful story of a family coming together. I first became introduced to the Tillerman family in "Come a Stranger" through a young girl name Mina (that had high hopes of becoming a ballerina) who sought out Tillermans because of a deep crush on the summer pastor. The intriging relationship between the summer pastor and "Bullet Tillerman" made me want to read more about the Tillerman family. I really admired the way Dicey held her family together on their long Journey. This was a good read!

not that good

Well... I had to read Homecoming for one of the three books I had to read for the seventh grade. It got pretty borring in the middle cause their just walking then camping, walking then camping. I mean, come on. A good book should be interesting all the way through.

It was okay I guess

At my school we have to read four books over the summer, so I chose this one. It was pretty good, but towards the middle/end, it got slow. I actually put the book down for two weeks. It was that bad. So I finally finished it. I thought that was a terrible ending. I would recomend this book to people that could easily read through slow parts. I dont plan on reading the second book because it'll probably be worse.

It gets kind of boring...

For my school we had to pick 3 books out of a list to read for the summer. I picked this book as one of them. It was ok. It gets VERY slow, but once you get through it, it's over. Overall, I did not like this book.

Love It!

It's a great book for teens. I love this and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Excellent, best of the series.

This would be a great book on its own, but you grow to care about all the characters and follow all their activiites and growth throughout the series. It appeals to adult readers as well as young adults. It is not all cheeriness and light, but is not overly grim.
I strongly recommend it.

wonderful for all ages.

I read this book when I was about 11, and it's still one of my favorites. Homecoming is an intensley captivating tale of the 4 Tillerman kids who walk from Rhode Island to Connecticut. Their unstable single mother finally loses it on a trip to visit their distant aunt, but this "visit" included leaving in the middle of the night, and packing all of their clothes. Dicey is shouldered with the weight of caring for her 3 younger siblings who range from 10 years old to 6 or 7 years old. They have seven dollars, no map, and only an inkling of who this aunt is. Dicey can't go to the cops because she fears that her family will be split up, and that is the last thing she wants. They finally make it to the aunt's only to find out it's not what they thought it would be. They then find out that their grandmother is still alive, so they take a huge chance and go to her for help. The novel is really about finding your family again, and the interactions with the grandmother are the most touching parts of the book. I still have the urge to the read this book from time to time even almost 15 years after the first time. Parents: if you child is reading this book, read it with them, you won't be disappointed. I recommend the rest of the Tillerman series, especially A Solitary Blue. Also, check out the movie version as well, they cut alot out, but Anne Bancroft is amazing.

A great adventure

this book is great and is kind of emotional too

Really good

This book was very good. It was an epic journey with a touching end. If you have to pick a book for school, I would really recommend this one.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING, ENJOYABLE, AND WORTH READING!!!!

I absolutly loved this book because it kept me wanting more. This book also made me relize how lucky I am to have a home and that I don't have to take care of any younger siblings like Dicey had to. As you read you just keep on wondering when the Tillerman kids will ever find a home. The ending was also amazing but I'm not going to tell, so you will have to read the book to find out. I would recomend this book to anyone. Go read it today!

i love this book

This was the book that got me hooked on reading.I first read this book in my 8th grade class for a book report and I fell in love with it. I still read it every now and then 6 years later!

Best Book to exceed such outstanding effort

This book was something that anyone can read. It's a long book. But it is one of those books you would like to sit down and read. This book can make you cry, laugh, or just make you wonder untill it gets to the point where you can't put the book down untill you know what happens. The only thing I would recomend the author do is, not put so many details in it. I know you must have plenty of details. But you don't need to take up one whole page just to write about the sky. Sometimes at parts, the book gets a little boring. But the story is just to good to stop reading it. I loved this book. I cried at the end. It is a book that will warm your heart and make you want to sit and read. I enjoyed reading it. It was wonderful. The author did an excellent job.

Good!

Even if I haven't finished the book, the beginning sounds great! I can't wait to finish it!

It rocks!

I think that this book was extremley well written. It keeps you at the edge of your seat and it keeps you wondering what will happen next. This would probably be my 2nd fave book

boring

i liked the book but it was hard to read. i was bored and forcing myself to finish.it had a good plot and i liked the idea of it but the auther didnt pull it off. it was too long and tedious

best book ever

It is the best book ever. I would toatally recomend this book. I am reading it with my friend. she loves it to. Soon i am going to be reading it a second time.
