“With extraordinary skill…DiCamillo traces the girls’ growing trust in each other while using understated confessionals and subtly expressed yearnings to show how tragedies have affected each of them. “Gives readers vivid images, dizzying ideas, humor, heart-wrenching emotions, and gorgeous, gorgeous language.” - Huffington Post “Raymie Nightingale is beautiful, a celebration of life, as are all her books.” - Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times bestselling author DiCamillo…is that kind of timeless writer, with two Newbery Medals and numerous other awards to her credit.” Think Charlotte’s Web or A Wrinkle in Time.
“Some children’s books are such ageless classics that adults as well as kids can appreciate their beauty and depth of meaning. But as the competition approaches, loneliness, loss, and unanswerable questions draw the three girls into an unlikely friendship - and challenge each of them to come to the rescue in unexpected ways. To win, not only does Raymie have to do good deeds and learn how to twirl a baton she also has to contend with the wispy, frequently fainting Louisiana Elefante, who has a show-business background, and the fiery, stubborn Beverly Tapinski, who’s determined to sabotage the contest. If Raymie can win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire competition, then her father, who left town two days ago with a dental hygienist, will see Raymie's picture in the paper and (maybe) come home. Raymie Clarke has come to realize that everything, absolutely everything, depends on her. Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo returns to her roots with a moving, masterful story of an unforgettable summer friendship.
