People seem to really love this book. Me, not so much. Yes, it's very touching, and there are some truly decent and kind characters, but they didn't feel real to me and I just could not get past the awfulness of how "Granny" handled everything.

Louisiana's Way Home was a beautiful continuation of Kate DiCamillo's characters in Raymie Nightingale. I fell in love with the characters in Raymie Nightingale and was thrilled when I saw Ms. Dicamillo was writing about the other girls in the book. Louisiana's life with granny is a never ending adventure and yet heartbreaking.

This was so good, I love Kate dicamillos writing style and I missed reading her books a lot so this was fun. Also this was the perfect book to pull me out of my reading slump :)

A very touching story. It makes you think about how resilient children are.

Sweet, sad story. As an adult reader, I wanted more... more background, more explanation, more logistics, but that all is probably unnecessary for the child reader.
