This is an awesome book for anyone who loves suspenseful stories! It’s about a family named the Tillermans who’s mother abandons them. So Dicey, the oldest, takes care of her three siblings while trying to find a home for them to live in. They are forced to live by themselves with little money and no shelter. They decide to go to their great-aunts house, but that’s not easy. It’s an adventures stories that will leave you wondering until the end. It’s amazing how those kids could survive on their own for so long!
