I think I might love this book more than Dicey's Song, although Homecoming is the OG Tillerman book and might be number one for me.
A Solitary Blue (Tillerman Cycle Series #3) by Cynthia Voigt, Paperback
This is just as awesome as A Year Down Yonder and should ideally be read before it.
A Long Way from Chicago by Richard Peck, Paperback
I love this so much! Reading this truly transports you to that time and place and definitely makes you want a pet raccoon of your own.

It's now a beloved classic for a reason. It's a tale of triumph over adversity, unlikely friendships, and adorable animals; what's not to love?
Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, Garth Williams, Paperback
Awesome adventure story - the kind we dream of doing if we could only dare.
My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George, Paperback
I love Zilpha Keatley Snyder and her imaginative stories. I recommend them all, actually.
The Egypt Game - Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Another beloved story of survival and adventure

A charming story about surviving as a homeless person in a city, extra charming if you're a francophile <3
