內容簡介 積極、幽默笑看困境,不讓命運打敗!Louisiana的返鄉之路《雙鼠計》、《少女三劍客》紐伯瑞得獎作家 凱特‧狄卡密歐作品Louisiana是一位甜美、真誠的女孩,雙親過世後,由奶奶撫養長大。不過奶奶很喜歡搬家,因此Louisiana沒有固定的家。距離上次搬家大約有兩年了,Louisiana在喬治亞鎮也交了一些朋友。突然,奶奶又無預警地在半夜搖醒Louisiana ,又要搬家了!這次是很漫長的公路旅行, Louisiana很想回去鎮上找朋友:一位汽車旅館老闆,外表陰沉,卻是一位大好人、一位長的像海象的牧師,還有神秘的、老是有一隻烏鴉站在肩膀的男孩…,Louisiana不想只是說再見,她想盡辦法回去她思念的家鄉和朋友。這趟公路旅行讓Louisiana體驗人情冷暖,有人臭臉相待,也有人好心提供冰淇淋,幸好Louisiana都能正面幽默地面對。Follow-up to the New York Times Bestselling Raymie Nightingale, from an internationally revered author, twice winner of the Newbery Medal.When Louisiana Elefante’s granny wakes her up in the middle of the night to tell her that the day of reckoning has arrived and they have to leave home immediately, Louisiana isn’t overly worried. After all, Granny has many middle-of-the-night ideas. But this time, things are different. This time, Granny intends for them never to return. Separated from best friends Raymie and Beverly, Louisiana struggles to oppose the winds of fate (and Granny) and find a way home. But as Louisiana’s life becomes entwined with the lives of the people of the small Georgia town in which they find themselves – including a surly motel owner, a walrus-like minister and a mysterious boy with a crow on his shoulder – she starts to worry that she is destined only for goodbyes. (Which could be due to the curse on Louisiana's and Granny’s heads. But that is a story for another time.)Called “one of DiCamillo’s most singular and arresting creations” by The New York Times Book Review, the heartbreakingly irresistible Louisiana Elefante was introduced to readers in Raymie Nightingale – and now, with humour and tenderness, Kate DiCamillo returns to tell her story."
