Izzy Willy Nilly is about a 15 year old girl, Isobel Lingard (Izzy), who goes to a party with a popular senior named Marco. Marco had too much beer to drink so abother senior Tony, offered to take her home. Izzy went ahead and rode home with Marco, because it wasn't to far from her house. They hit into a tree, Marco got a little scraped up by this but Izzy woke up in the hospital. She had her leg pinned in the car reck and she finds that she will have to have her leg amputated. Her good friends Suzy, Lisa, and Lauren stop visiting her, she looses her spot on the cheerleading squad and she also gains a new friend. Rosamunde a girl who Izzy saw around school starts visiting Izzy at the hospital and helps Izzy to help her stop feeling so depresed and see the new Izzy. Izzy even begins to wear colored safty pins on her pants to make them look prettyer.
When Izzy gets back to school everyone is treating her different, they pittyed her. One boy carried her up the stairs for lunch, they even offer her a spot on the very select news paper. Then it comes as a shock when Izzy finds Marco's new girlfriend is none other than her best friend.
If there is any thing i forgot feel free to add.

Cynthia Voigt writes really good books. I've never in a life time wanted to keep reading the book "Homecoming" which is about these kids who get abandoned by their mom. They had been going on a trip to see their aunt Ciela and they all fell asleep on the way over there. Anyways they woke up to where their mom was gone and they didnt know where to go. You have to read this book!!! Anyways Cynthia thanks for making such good books that i could actually sit down and read without wanting to stop reading it.
Hope everybody reads this,

Cynthia voigt is a great author. I loved her her book HOMECOMING. My seventh grade teacher gave my classmates and I HOMECOMING.At first, I thought that it was going to be another boring book but when I started reafing it I couldn't put it down.It only took me about two or three weeks to read it. Just because the book is thick and has like 300 pages it doesn't mean that it is a boring book. Trust me, once you start reading HOMECOMING or any other books from Cynthia Voigt, you will not be able to put the book down. I have just started reading the sequel to HOMECOMING, DICEY'S SONG. All I have read from the book is that dicey keeps on cleaning the whole house, not that it is a bad thing, but since her mother had left her and her siblings and died, she had to do everything: find a place to sleep, find food, and risk getting caught by the authorities, who will put them in orphanages and seaperate them(that was in HOMECOMING and there is much more in the book, it is a very interesting book). So if you think this book is very interesting, I think you should get it. Now, HOMECOMING is not the only book that Cynthia Voigt has written, so you should do the same thing I'm doing, and read all of Cynthia Voigt's novels!

I love the book homecoming i'm not done reading it yet but i strated yesterday and so far i love it homecoming is about a thirteen year old girl name dicey who's mother abandons her and her siblings and she decided to take them all the way to bridgeport where their aunt is. She has to take care of her sister and brothers with little money to get there and stay out of site of the authorities. This is a good book so far, I never read any of Cynthia Voigt 's books but I gurantee that I will the rest of her books, she's a great writer and I think homecoming should be a lifetime movie and her other books cause they must be as good as this one!!!!!

On Fortune's Wheel can teach you valuable lessons about making decisions for yourself. Like Orien, many of us are faced with intense pressures from our family to become someone we aren't. It's never easy to stand up to your family but it is a small price to pay for lasting happiness.

Cynthia Voigt is my absolutely favorite author in the world, and I can't seem to get enough of her books! I can't remember if I read "Jackaroo" or "A Solitary Blue" , but they are awesome books! She is a wonderful writer, and I would be most pleased if I could write to her and tell her how much I enjoy her work. I would also be excited if she wrote more on Dicey and/or Jeff!! Thank you for your work, Ms. Voigt!!!!
