June 1975 was a period in Raymie Clark’s life she would never forget. 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.īut 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. 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. Raymie Clarke has come to realize that everything, absolutely everything, depends on her. Raymie Nightingale by Kate Dicamillo – Book Reviewįormat – ebook, paperback, hardcover, audio
