Homecoming

Plot

"This first novel is about an abandoned 'family, ' four children ages 6 to 13. . . . With $11 and change, little adult help and a great deal of adult hindrance, the four make their way from Rhode Island to Connecticut on the strength of courage, resourcefulness, good camping instincts and the sheer will to stay together and find a home . . . This is a glowing book . . . An enthralling journey to a gratifying end."--"New York Times Book Review."
