Jean Fritz tells her captivating story of the difficulties of living in a unfamiliar country at such a difficult time. * 'A remarkable blend of truth and storytelling.' -Booklist, starred review * 'An insightful memory's-eye-view of her childhood . . . Young Jean is a strong character, and many of her reactions to people and events are timeless and universal.' -School Library Journal, starred review 'Told with an abundance of humor-sometimes wry, sometimes mischievous and irreverent-the story is vibrant with atmosphere, personalities, and a palpable sense of place.' -The Horn Book 'Every now and then a book comes along that makes me want to send a valentine to its author. Homesick is such a book . . . Pungent and delicious.' -Katherine Paterson, The Washington Post
