Ezra’s Books: The Trip

The Trip

Viking, 1978

Do you lose all your friends when you move to a new neighborhood? That’s what Louie thinks. Feeling sad and lonely, Louie builds a small diorama of his old block and dreams he’s flying back to visit with his pals. But just at that moment Louie wakes up to learn there are new friends waiting at his front door, to go Halloween trick or treating. 

Out of Print – worth pursuing if you want a book about a kid dealing with loneliness and making new friends.
