Ms. DiCamillo was kind enough to answer some questions about her highly anticipated new novel.
Louisiana’s character was first introduced in Raymie Nightingale. Did you know back then that she would go on to have her own story? Why did you return to the world of Raymie Nightingale?
KDC: I did not know that Louisiana would go on to have her own story. I had absolutely no idea, no plans for it to happen. Every time I finish a novel, I think something along the lines of: wow, I can’t believe I lived through that. I’m never going to try it again.
So.
Why did I return to the world of Raymie Nightingale?
Because Louisiana insisted. Truly. That voice of hers just kept showing up in my notebooks. And after awhile, she wore me down.

Where did the idea for Louisiana’s Way Home come from?
KDC: The idea came from the sentence that kept appearing in my notebooks, the same sentence that opens the novel “I am going to write it all down, so that what happened to me will be known . . .”
I had no idea what was going to happen. I just hitched my wagon to that voice.
Louisiana’s Way Home is on B&N bookshelves October 2.
