Dicey's+Song+by+Cynthia+Voigt

Dicey is tryinhg to settle in after her adventure in Homecoming, but her adventure isn't over yet. In Dicey's Song, the Tillermans still have many obstacles to get through. Sammy tries not to get into fights and just wants Gram and Dicey to be pleased with him, but to him, it's like, "Putting on a mask. A heavy iron mask around his face and bolted closed." School's hard for Maybeth, and she can't learn and memorize the things required, but she tries as hard as she can. James just wants to make friends, so he acts dumber than he really is and turns in different assignments from the ones he shows Dicey and Gram. This is a really good book about trying to hold on but let go. It can also be about settling in. Before you read this book, you should read Homecoming.
