Dicey's Song

De: Cynthia Voigt

Narrado por: Barbara Caruso

You never knew where a road would end, Dicey thought, the breeze curling around her ears, you just knew what roads ended. Not like water, which always keeps moving. Not like the stars, tossed out across the sky. But the Tillermans traveled on a road, and roads ended. Dicey's road, and James's, Maybeth's, Sammy's, had ended here. The Tillermans' road had rolled up against Gram's house, and they had tumbled off it into Gram's. Dicey grinned. Not exactly into Gram's arms, maybe not into her lap. Certainly into her life from Dicey's Song. It took 13-year-old Dicey Tillerman all summer to get herself and her three younger siblings to their grandmothers run-down farm on the Chesapeake Bay. Now the four of them face the difficult challenges of fitting into a frightening new world, one where once again, they are outsiders. Gram told Dicey to just hold on, to do all that she could to keep the family together. The trouble is, Dicey has only two hands, and quite a few problems of her own. Growing up, she discovers, is more than just holding on to what is important, it is learning how to let go.©1982 Cynthia Voigt (P)1992 Recorded Books,LLC

My favorite since I was a child

I’m sure that I could hear the chair creaking and conversations from the next room in the studio while I listened, but I still loved it.

I found this book on a shelf as a child, recommend it to all my students, and have reread it as an adult. I still love it as much now as I did then. It’s a roller coaster of emotions, and you’ll find yourself rooting for the main characters. You will end the book feeling like you really know and love the characters;they will be like someone from your neighborhood or your school.

Beautiful hopeful book

It’s old school but a great family story. Love how sensitive this author is to mental health issues.

childhood unlocked

I read this in the 5th grade. I couldn't believe how many core thoughts and memories I've carried with me through this book

very enjoyable story telling!

And wonderful narration! you really get to know the characters and I look forward to the additional books!

Strong and rich Characters

Throughly enjoyed this follow up. Wish audible had the full series. There shouldn’t be a character minimum for reviews.
