Summary

Summary

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 know where 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?

School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 3-DiCamillo's latest follows the "necessary journey" taken by Baby Lincoln, much to the chagrin of her older sister, Eugenia. Leaving behind her ordinary life-and the watchful eye of Eugenia-Baby boards a train and meets a host of characters. Her adventure is one that introduces self-reflection, courage, and family dynamics to a young audience. Children will enjoy revisiting what are probably already familiar characters from the "Mercy Watson" series. Lorna Raver reads with an authentic and captivating voice. VERDICT This would be a popular addition to any elementary audio collection and necessary where DiCamillo titles fly off the shelf. ["Lending itself well to classroom read-alouds and discussions, and independent and bedtime reading, this title is most certainly a recommended purchase": SLJ 6/16 review of the Candlewick book.]-Rebecca Flannery, Memorial Elementary School, East Hampton, CT © Copyright 2016.
