Saving Francesca (Melina Marchetta)
Francesca is commencing Year Eleven at an all boys' school that has just started accepting girls. Francesca misses her friends and has to deal with her mother who is confined to bed after having a breakdown. She does not expect to make new friends, to fall in love or to find that it's within her power to bring her family back together. Author's first novel, 'Looking for Alibrandi' won the 1993 Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year (Older Readers) Award.
Homecoming (Cynthia Voigt)
"IT'S STILL TRUE." That's the first thing James Tillerman says to his sister Dicey every morning. It's still true that their mother has abandoned the four Tillerman children somewhere in the middle of Connecticut. It's still true they have to find their way, somehow, to Great-aunt Cilla''s house in Bridgeport, which may be their only hope of staying together as a family.
But when they get to Bridgeport, they learn that Great-aunt Cilla has died, and the home they find with her daughter, Eunice, isn't the permanent haven they've been searching for. So their journey continues to its unexpected conclusion -- and some surprising discoveries about their history, and their future.
Dicey's Song (Cynthia Voigt)
Letting Go The four Tillerman children finally have a home at their grandmother's rundown farm on the Maryland shore. It's what Dicey has dreamed of for her three younger siblings, but after watching over the others for so long, it's hard to let go. Who is Dicey, if she's no longer the caretaker for her family?
Dicey finds herself in new friends, in a growing relationship with her grandmother, and in the satisfaction of refinishing the old boat she found in the barn. Then, as Dicey experiences the trials and pleasures of making a new life, the past comes back with devastating force, and Dicey learns just how necessary -- and painful -- letting go can be.
