About this ebook

The iconic start to the timeless, Newbery-winning series from Cynthia Voigt.

“It’s still true.” That’s the first thing James Tillerman says to his older sister, Dicey, every morning. It’s still true that their mother has abandoned the four Tillermans in a mall parking lot somewhere in the middle of Connecticut. It’s still true that they have to find their own way to Great-aunt Cilla’s house in Bridgeport. It’s still true that they need to spend as little as possible on food and seek shelter anywhere that is out of view of the authorities. It’s still true that the only way they can hope to all stay together is to just keep moving forward.

Deep down, Dicey hopes they can find someone to trust, someone who will take them in and love them. But she’s afraid it’s just too much to hope for...

Ratings and reviews

I read Dicey's Song first in school & loved it. Then found out this was the prequel & ran out & bought both. Even in adulthood they give me comfort. Worth every penny.

I just loved this book. Its really good. A mix of freedom and abandonment. Its a book that everyone should read. Its the first and the best book of Tillerman cycle.

the book has no plot and i did not like it. the writer should be sued. ps the does not come in paperback omg i hate when that happens. pierce students if u r reading this jd posted it.
