路易斯安娜的返乡路是纽伯瑞文学奖获得者凯特·迪卡米洛新作，《提灯的天使(Raymie Nightingale)》姐妹篇。

积极、幽默笑看困境，不让命运打败！

路易斯安娜是一位甜美、真诚的女孩，双亲过世后，由奶奶抚养长大。不过奶奶很喜欢搬家，因此路易斯安娜没有固定的家。距离上次搬家大约有两年了，路易斯安娜在乔治亚镇也交了一些朋友。突然，奶奶又无预警地在半夜摇醒路易斯安娜，又要搬家了！这次是很漫长的公路旅行，路易斯安娜很想回去镇上找朋友：一位汽车旅馆老板，外表阴沉，却是一位大好人；一位长的像海象的牧师；还有神秘的、老是有一只乌鸦站在肩膀的男孩……路易斯安娜不想只是说再见，她想尽办法回去她思念的家乡和朋友。这趟公路旅行让路易斯安娜体验人情冷暖，有人臭脸相待，也有人好心提供冰淇淋，幸好路易斯安娜都能正面幽默地面对。

From two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo comes a story of discovering who you are — and deciding who you want to be.

When Louisiana Elefante’s granny wakes her up in the middle of the night to tell her that the day of reckoning has arrived and they have to leave home immediately, Louisiana isn’t overly worried. After all, Granny has many middle-of-the-night ideas. But this time, things are different. This time, Granny intends for them never to return. Separated from her best friends, Raymie and Beverly, Louisiana struggles to oppose the winds of fate (and Granny) and find a way home. But as Louisiana’s life becomes entwined with the lives of the people of a small Georgia town — including a surly motel owner, a walrus-like minister, and a mysterious boy with a crow on his shoulder — she starts to worry that she is destined only for good-byes. (Which could be due to the curse on Louisiana's and Granny’s heads. But that is a story for another time.)

Called “one of DiCamillo’s most singular and arresting creations” by The New York Times Book Review, the heartbreakingly irresistible Louisiana Elefante was introduced to readers in Raymie Nightingale — and now, with humor and tenderness, Kate DiCamillo returns to tell her story.

Kate DiCamillo  (凯特·迪卡米洛)，1964年出生于美国宾夕法尼亚州，是美国当红的儿童文学作家，善于细腻的心理描写，笔下的人物真实自然。凯特说，她并没有塑造这些人物，而是专心聆听这些人对她说什么，然后把他们说的东西转述出来。她不喜欢刻意介入或扭转故事的发展，也不特意挑选故事的题材或背景，一切都是自然而然流露出来的。正是这份真实，让凯特笔下的人物广受孩子们喜欢。
