Part of the Tales from Deckawoo Drive series
A young girl embarks on a journey to discover herself and find her place in the world
Baby Lincoln, always under her sister Eugenia's thumb, decides to break free and embark on a Necessary Journey. With no plan and only a dream of shooting stars to guide her, Baby sets off into the unknown. Who will she meet, and what will she learn about herself? As she ventures beyond her sister's control, Baby faces the ultimate question: will she ever return home, or is this the start of a new, independent life?
What if timid Baby Lincoln broke free of her bossy sister and set off on an unexpected journey? Kate DiCamillo presents a touching new adventure set in Mercy Watson’s world. Baby Lincoln’s older sister, Eugenia, is very fond of telling Baby what to do, and Baby usually responds by saying “Yes, Sister.” But one day Baby has had enough. She decides to depart on a Necessary Journey, even though she has never gone anywhere without Eugenia telling her what to take and where to go. And in fact Baby doesn’t knowwhere she is headed – only that she was entirely happy in the previous night’s dream, sitting aboard a train with a view of shooting stars. Who might Baby meet as she strikes out on her own, and what could she discover about herself? Will her impulsive adventure take her away from Eugenia for good?
