Louisiana's Way Home

"What happens next? When a book ends and leaves you wanting more, it has succeeded. And when an author gives you another book as a follow-up, it’s the best! So I was thrilled to find out that Kate DiCamillo followed up 2016’s Raymie Nightingale with this year’s Louisiana’s Way Home. This story centers on Louisiana Elefante — the most ethereal of the three friends from the first book. I was worried that this fragile girl couldn’t carry her own novel, but DiCamillo reveals the strength and fight in Louisiana. So grab a PayDay bar (plot point!) and know that once again Louisiana finds just the right people to help ground her. (For ages 10 and up)"
