Louisiana's Way Home by Kate DiCamillo (English) Paperback Book

Description: Louisiana's Way Home by Kate DiCamillo Follow-up to the New York Times Bestselling Raymie Nightingale, from an internationally revered author, twice winner of the Newbery Medal.When Louisiana Elefantes granny wakes her up in the middle of the night to tell her that the day of reckoning has arrived and they have to leave home immediately, Louisiana isnt overly worried. After all, Granny has many middle-of-the-night ideas. But this time, things are different. This time, Granny intends for them never to return. Separated from best friends Raymie and Beverly, Louisiana struggles to oppose the winds of fate (and Granny) and find a way home. But as Louisianas life becomes entwined with the lives of the people of the small Georgia town in which they find themselves – including a surly motel owner, a walrus-like minister and a mysterious boy with a crow on his shoulder – she starts to worry that she is destined only for goodbyes. (Which could be due to the curse on Louisianas and Grannys heads. But that is a story for another time.)Called "one of DiCamillos most singular and arresting creations" by The New York Times Book Review, the heartbreakingly irresistible Louisiana Elefante was introduced to readers in Raymie Nightingale – and now, with humour and tenderness, Kate DiCamillo returns to tell her story.

Review "Thoughtful, compassionate, elegant and simply beautiful; you will never forget Louisianas Way Home. An instant classic!" * Fallen Star Stories *"DiCamillos writing is like a constant blanket of loveliness and safety." * John OGroat Journal *"This is a beautifully written story - funny and moving - exploring some tough perceptions about the adult world and coming to terms with shortcomings and strengths. The simple text and short chapters will make this easily accessible to the young reader but there is a keenness of thought and sharp insights into life that make it appropriate for the older reader too." * The School Librarian *I really enjoyed this book and have now passed it on to my 12 yr old to read, hoping that she connects and has empathy with the characters as much as I did. * Reading Zone * Details ISBN1406385581 Pages 224 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2019 ISBN-10 1406385581 ISBN-13 9781406385588 Publication Date 2019-05-02 Audience Age 9-12 Format Paperback Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 813.6 Language English Series Three Rancheros UK Release Date 2019-05-02 AU Release Date 2019-05-02 NZ Release Date 2019-05-02 Author Kate DiCamillo Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
