Homecoming (The Tillerman Cycle) by Cynthia Voigt (PB/G-VGC) Newbery Award!

“It’s still true.” That’s the first thing James Tillerman says to his older sister, Dicey, every morning.

It’s still true that their mother has abandoned the four Tillermans in a mall parking lot somewhere in the middle of Connecticut.

It’s still true that they have to find their own way to Great-aunt Cilla’s house in Bridgeport.

It’s still true that they need to spend as little as possible on food and seek shelter anywhere that is out of view of the authorities.

It’s still true that the only way they can hope to all stay together is to just keep moving forward.

Deep down, Dicey hopes they can find someone to trust, someone who will take them in and love them. But she’s afraid it’s just too much to hope for.... 

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.

Dicey, James, Maybeth, and Sammy are only thirteen, ten, nine, and six when their mother abandons them in a mall parking lot.

Cynthia Voigt came up with the idea for Homecoming when she "saw a bunch of kids waiting in a car at a parking lot [… and wondered] what would happen if nobody came back to get them?"
