Louisiana's Way Home by Kate DiCamilloMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Louisiana's Way Home" is like "Anne of Green Gables" meets "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood": southern charm, an extensive vocabulary, and a super quirky heroine. Like Anne, Louisiana can make you shake your head sometimes, and yet, she is lovable in her earnest desires for home and belonging. Louisiana is smart, inventive, and hungry - hungry for life, love, and for just about any type of food she can get her hands on.
This book is probably a bit closer to a 3.5, but well told, so I rounded up. This is a strong candidate for middle grade girls or lovers of Anne and Sidda, not to mention DiCamillo's other great work.
Happy reading--
[Book 2 - 2019]
