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.
Caledonia Skytower begins Kate DiCamillo's newest tale, Live in
voice.
