Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo returns to her roots with a moving, masterful story of an unforgettable summer friendship.
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 left town two days ago 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; 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. 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.

I got the book can't wait to read it.
This is one of my favorite books of all time! By the one and only Kate DiCamillo, who has written books that I think will soon be classics. This book is about a girl named Raymie Clarke, who's father recently ran off with a dental hygienist name Lee Ann Dickerson. Raymie meets two girls, but she doesn't know these two random girls from baton twirling lessons will create a bond that will lead to an unforgettable summer. This book is IMPOSSIBLE to put down. In this book you will read about crazy adventures like baton twirling class, Archie the cat, and Bunny or Buddy the dog.
