Raymie Nightingale by Kate DiCamillo, 263 pages
Raymie makes friends with two other girls in her baton
twirling class. Louisiana is a timid but
determined girl while Beverly is stubborn but loyal. The three make an unlikely trio but they all
help each other with their various problems.
Raymie wants to win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire competition so
that her father will come home.
Louisiana wants to win because she needs the prize money so she won’t have
to go into the orphanage. Beverly wants
to sabotage the contest. This is
definitely one of my favorite DiCamillo books and I will be giving it to every
child who comes to the Library asking for realistic fiction.
