Raymie Nightingale - Kate DiCamillo

New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo returns to her roots with a moving yet witty story of an unforgettable summer friendship. For fans of Jacqueline Wilson David Almond and Katherine Rundell. In her seventh novel international bestselling author and twice winner of the prestigious Newbery Medal Kate DiCamillo tells a masterful story that blends pathos and humour. Raymie Clarke has come to realize that everything absolutely everything depends on her. And she has a plan. If Raymie can win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire competition then her father - who has run away with a dental hygienist - will see Raymie's picture in the paper and (maybe) come home. To win not only does Raymie have to do good deeds and learn how to twirl a baton but she has to compete with the wispy frequently fainting Louisiana Elefante with her show-business background and the fiery stubborn Beverly Tapinski who's determined to sabotage the contest. But as the competition approaches loneliness loss and unanswerable questions draw the three girls into an unlikely friendship - and challenge them to come to each other's rescue in unexpected ways.
