This will be a tough one :D Maybe a few questions will jog your memory.
Do remember the age difference of the girls? Were they close in age or was it a teen with a 5 yr old, for example?
Did you read this book for school? Did you check it out from the library, buy it, borrow it, etc?
Anything about the bookcover?
Was it a historical setting or was it set in the time the book was written?
About how many pages?
Did it seem more like a book geared towards teens or grade school students?
'Homecoming' by Cynthia Voigt? They had 2 brothers.
Sue- this may be it, I have to review when I get home. Sounds familiar - cannot believe it!! I will let you all know tonight!
Or possibly A Long Way to Go? Three siblings trying to find their way home, although the sisters were too young to be interested in boys.
At the library today, hope they have them....if not will go to book store later today.

It was Homecoming! Thank you all.
What's the Name of That Book???
Books mentioned in this topic
A Long Way to Go (other topics)Homecoming (other topics)
I was born Dec 1973 (I think I read this around 14-16). That is the only timeline I know, so I know the book is not newer than say 1990. I don't think it was written any earlier than 1980 (that is a guess).
Two sisters (I can't remember even if that is right now) were traveling on a limited budget (I remember them counting change and planning what they would do as far as eating etc...). I believe they hitchhiked, I am not sure why, but they seemed to be traveling on their own and they are under 18. I believe they rode in a station wagon (not sure on this. I remember the oldest liking a boy and they were at the beach together. They were near water - my thinking was east coast - like North Carolina or something.
That's it. I know its not much as all. But, I thought I would try. The problem is I have read too many books and can't remember the details of all and they mix together. Things I am sure of 2 sisters, near water, traveling on limited budget.
If someone solves this - please know you are amazing! Hoping to find it, it was one of those books that really touched my life and want my girls to read it.
