In Louisianas Way Home， award-winning author Kate DiCamillo expands on the story of Louisiana Elefante， a fan-favorite character from 2016s Raymie Nightingale.

When Louisianas Granny wakes her in the middle of the night， she claims its the day of reckoning1 and says they have to leave town. After a long， eventful2 drive across the Florida-Georgia state line， Grannys toothache forces them to stop in a quirky small town with a motel， a church and a friendly boy with a pet crow. Louisiana desperately3 wants to return to Florida and reunite with her best friends， but Granny has other plans. As Louisiana learns something new about her past and grows closer to the people of the town， will she be able to choose between making a new home and returning to her old one？

The magic of DiCamillos storytelling is in its simple， believable realism. Some people are kind， some are less so. The world can be harsh4， even terrible， but it can also be beautiful. The way Louisiana notices， takes in and shares this wisdom is what makes DiCamillo one of our finest storytellers. This lovely story of independence and community will resonate5 with readers of all ages.

在《路易斯安娜的回家路》中，獲奖作家凯特·迪卡米洛讲述了2016年的作品《雷米·南丁格尔》中一个最受粉丝欢迎的角色路易斯安娜·艾莱凡特的故事。

路易斯安娜的奶奶半夜叫醒她，说这天是最后的审判日，并说他们必须离开小镇。驾车经过漫长、不太平的旅程穿越佛罗里达州和乔治亚州的州际线后，奶奶的牙痛使她们不得不在一个古怪的小镇上停下来，那里有一家汽车旅馆、一座教堂，还有一个友善的男孩和他的宠物乌鸦。路易斯安娜极其想回到佛罗里达和她最好的朋友们团聚，但奶奶另有计划。当路易斯安娜新了解到关于她的过去的一些事情，并且与镇上的人们越来越亲密时，她能在建一个新家和回到她以前的家之间做出选择吗？

迪卡米洛讲故事的魔力在于其简单、可信的现实主义风格。有些人很善良，有些人则不那么善良。世界可以是严酷的，甚至是可怕的，但它也可以是美丽的。路易斯安娜发现、接受和分享这种道理的方式，正是迪卡米洛成为最好的小说家之一的原因。这个关于个人和群体的可爱的故事会引起所有年龄段的读者的共鸣。
