Louisiana's Way Home

In this latest story from Kate DiCamillo, we revisit the character of Louisiana, whom we met in DiCamillo's Raymie Nightingale.  (You do not have to read that one, though, to follow this story.) Louisiana and her Grammie leave Florida to end a curse put on their family by her Grannie's father, a magician who left his partner and wife in two pieces on stage - "sundered" in 2.  I liked the story very much and I loved the character of Louisiana, with her manner of speaking like a grandmother.  Since an older woman raised her, it made sense to me that she would talk like that.  I was sucked in by the climax and enjoyed the resolution of the story, but I found it hard to believe.  (FIC DIC)
