Almost Home by Joan Bauer Book Summary

Newbery Honor winner Joan Bauer's new novel will touch your heart

When twelve-year-old Sugar's grandfather dies and her gambling father takes off yet again, Sugar and her mother lose their home in Missouri. They head to Chicago for a fresh start, only to discover that fresh starts aren't so easy to come by for the homeless. Nevertheless, Sugar's mother has taught her to be grateful no matter what, so Sugar does her best. With the help of a rescue dog, Shush; a foster family; a supportive teacher; a love of poetry; and her own grace and good humor, Sugar comes to understand that while she can't control the hand life deals her, she can control how she responds.

“Almost Home” - Review. This is a good book and well written. One of the best traits of this book, in my opinion, is that it is so easy to relate to Sugar’s pain, confusion and heartache. Especially when it comes to her father, Mr. Leeland... I personally can relate to many of her quotes about her father. Her pain is incredibly realistic, and yet so is her courage. I can definitely say that my compassion for children such as Sugar has increased through the reading of this book. Now, I’m going to be honest, there were some chapters where it got kind of slow, and nothing interesting happened much. But during the first few chapters, I was hooked. Another thing I would say is that in some chapters, Sugar seemed to be portrayed as more of a younger child than twelve. However, that tended to fade as the chapters grew. Her beautiful poems defined inspiring, hopeful and grateful. I absolutely love how she used writing as an escape. That’s beautiful. There were several quotes throughout the entire book that stood out to me. One being, “It’s so perfect it’s irritating.” That has got to be one of the most relatable quotes of all time. There were several other quotes that hit me hard, as well. Overall, Almost Home displays incredible insight on the incredibly strong bond of a mother and daughter, and how they pull through an unimaginably difficult situation. To Miss Joan, Thank you so much for writing this book. Have a blessed day.

Very good. It was a very good book! It was about how strong she was and she held on to life when I don't think I could have!
