This book is about four children, Dicey, James, Sammy and Maybeth, Whose mother abandoned them in a random mall parking lot. When they figured out that their mother wasn't coming back, the oldest Dicey decided that they would walk to their Aunt Cilla's House.

3.you should count on your family, and your family should be able to count on you.
