Homecoming The Tillerman Series #1 Cynthia Voigt Books Reviews

I'm a huge fan of YA fiction, when it's not pandering to the lowest common denominator. Madeleine L'Engles "A Wrinkle In Time" and "And Both Were Young" are hallmark books for me; I tend to judge other YA novels against them, for better or worse. I want to be enfolded by a book. I want it to take me over. I want to put it down with a sigh and immediately begin planning when I'll have time to pick it up again. I want the characters to live inside my head, and my heart. "Homecoming" does all of that, as does the follow-up "Dicey's Song". A marvelous book.
Loved this book as a kid and enjoying reading it now with my children. Probably best for 12 or 13 years or older just because the print is fairly small. I’m reading it aloud to my kids (10 and 11), but I think they would be capable of reading and understanding it themselves.
I read "The Tillerman Series" when I was in 6th or 7th grade, and I absolutely loved them then. I remember really feeling connected to the characters. I was in awe of how Dicey (the oldest sibling) led her family across states in order to find a home for them.

A few years ago, I decided that I wanted to try to buy all of my favorite books from when I was a child. "The Tillerman Series" were some of the first ones I put on my list. I finally bought "Homecoming" a few months ago, and I'm SO glad that I did!

I think that I might have enjoyed it even more this time around. Cynthia Voigt does a wonderful job of letting you inside of their family. Being an adult, and knowing how hard it is to "make it" sometimes, I had a real sense of admiration for the kids in the book. I know that there really are kids like that in the world, and it made me thankful to have a great family. I would highly recommend this book (and the rest of the series) to anyone from ages 12 to adults.
I've loved this book since I was a kid. I've enjoyed reading it to my kids a couple of times now. We used it as a book club book for my son when he was entering 5th grade, and later again, at my daughter's request, for her book club as she was entering 5th grade, as well. (Both are strong readers. The book is 400 pages and may be more than some want to tackle at that age.) This book is full of strong, quirky personalities and strong bonds between siblings. It's a great family read. It lends itself well to discussions of what it's like to not have money and what is most important for happiness.

Homecoming is the first of many great books following an overlapping set of characters. Dicey's Song and A Solitary Blue (both award-winning) and The Runner are also favorites from my childhood and with my children.
It's still true. It's still true that Dicey and her three brothers and sisters are alone. It's still true that their mother abandoned them at a mall in Connecticut. It's still true that they have very little money. And it's still true that twelve-year-old Dicey must keep them safe, fed, and together. Dicey knows that if they contact the authorities, the siblings will most likely be split up in foster care. So, in a way that is clever, intuitive, and brave, Dicey leads her brothers and sisters from Bridgeport, Connecticut, to their Gram's house by the Chesapeake Bay in Massachusetts. The long journey leads the four children into danger and hunger, but Dicey Tillerman courageously and cleverly finds ways to keep them fed, warm, and away from authorities. At long last, the four find their way to Gram's house, where they have a home at last, perhaps. It's still true that their mother has abandoned them, and it's still true that children are wise, resourceful, and funny. I couldn't put this book down. You will laugh, cry, and recognize yourself in the passionate, gritty characters of the four Tillerman children--Dicey, James, Maybeth, and Sammy.
I'd worn out my copy of Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt. Oh this is my favorite family story book. Real....really real people, who are not perfect but are brave and determined to survive...that's what this is about. And children at that. You will not believe what this little sibling group of four got through to survive alone on America's East coastal highway. It is mind-boggling and tender and sometimes hard to bear. But the result is so satisfying as they come to their journey's end and even fight to survive there. What victory and strength you'll discover as these four brothers and sisters depend on each other, fight their way through sorrow, hunger, heat, rejection and all through it discover their strengths and talents to make a life in this hard world. Along the way they meet memorable heroes who stop to help them and love on them and inspire them. All young teens should read this book. It will help them become their best selves. See Gee
