COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good submitted by DL on July 11, 2016, 1:14pm Good story for a long trip, gripping characters dealing with tough situations.

negotiating normalcy submitted by camelsamba on August 21, 2017, 10:13pm Middle-grades (or maybe teen) novel. This is the second book in a series. In the first book, the Tillerman family make their way to their grandmother’s house after their mother falls ill. "Now that the four abandoned Tillerman children are settled in with their grandmother, Dicey finds that their new beginnings require love, trust, humor, and courage." Dicey is the oldest, and has always been the backbone of the family (apparently her mother was emotionally fragile). In this book, she and her grandmother negotiate their relationship and roles in this new family structure they are creating. She also has to find her place in the school's social structure. I enjoyed the story. My heart ached for Dicey and her siblings at times. They've clearly had a rough life and work hard to have a sense of normalcy. From reviews on goodreads I can see that many women loved this as teens - I suspect I would have as well.
