Dicey's Song

This is a good sequel to Homecoming.  In some ways, it’s better because the first book kind of drifted when the family was homeless.  In this the Tillerman family is being raised by the grandmother.  I liked the kids in the book.  They are all explored in this movie. A number of things happen in this book like Dicey gets a job at a grocery store and ends up helping the owner run the store.  She becomes friends with a guitarist and a girl named Mina.  Dicey’s sister Maybeth has problems learning how to read but becomes proficient at music.  It was a good book and I can see why it won the Newbery Medal as the characters feel real.
