I'd read Dicey's Song when I was a kid, and I never realized it actually was a sequel to Homecoming.

Dicey, James, Maybeth, and Sam Tillerman are abruptly left on their own when their mother abandons them and the car in a mall parking lot. When it becomes clear that their mother isn't coming back, thirteen-year-old Dicey conceives a daring and dangerous plan: since they know that they were on their way to live with their Aunt Cilla in Bridgeport, they will continue the journey on foot. It's a thrilling, dangerous journey, and when they reach Bridgeport, things are not what they expected.

I sometimes found my credulity stretched just a bit, in that the adults that the children meet seem curiously unwilling to question who the kids are and where they're going, but maybe that's more realistic than I would like to think.

Shea i too read diecys song and i didn't realize it was the sequal to homecoming till after i finished it, the book was so good in details it didn't matter i still didn't get lost, funny huh


Kirsten Totally. I've read some of the later books in the Tillerman Cycle as well, and they all stand on their own very well.
