Fans of "Because of Winn-Dixie" will really love Kate DiCamillo's new book. Raymie Nightingale is a beautifully told story about 3 girls that meet under unusual circumstances in 1975. All three are taking baton lessons, but the lessons are going horribly. What grows from these lessons is the friendship between the 3. Raymie is a wonderful character. She is "plucky." She is convinced that winning the Little Miss Central Florida Tire beauty contest will make her famous and bring her father back (after he abandoned her and her mother to run off with the dental hygienist). This story is funny and touching and just delightful.
