Homecoming (written by Cynthia Voigt) is about a girl named Dicey, a very responsible, intelligent girl, and her four younger siblings, Maybeth, Sammy, and James, who unfortunately, are the oddballs in the neighborhood. But it gets worst, when their mother had run away, abandoning her children after losing her jobs.
By leaving her children in a parked car in a shopping center, she then puts her troubles onto Dicey's shoulder. Dicey must travel to her Aunt Cilla's house, seeking a place to stay. Along the way, they must camp out at beaches, stores, and, besides her siblings, she has no idea who to trust. She must take charge of her family, fearing that she and her family may be separated for life. Only her grandmother may be able to help them now. But will she?
This book is exciting from the beginning to the end. It is as equally enjoyable as to how lenghthy it is.

Oh, I never read this book before, but I do expect that it is a good book. I have read books by Cornelia Funke like Dragon Rider and tried reading Inkheart and Inkspell, but I can't seem to sink into those. Do you think Cynthia Voigt is better than Cornelia Funke? I also heard of Cynthia Rylat but I have never read any of her book...can you give me more recommendations?

P.S: If you were wondering why our names are in a different order, it's because Dawn woke up late. And also Dawn is asking for new books cause she wants Kakashi to read different books rather than the same series. :D LOL
