What Members Thought
I read this with my ears and need to reread it with my eyes ASAP. No one captures small moments in a child's life like Kate DiCamillo. She is a master of small, yet important moments. This book is filled with them. The writing is absolutely lovely. It is a quiet book. It is a literary book. I know there are young readers who will appreciate the pace and the intent. Find them and give them this book.

This wasn’t my favorite Kate DiCamillo book, but it wasn’t bad. I did enjoy the sweet story of friendship and the quirky personalities. More importantly, the girls in Raymie Nightingale had grown-up problems. They helped and supported each other through it, and it was nice to read about girls coming together as opposed to tearing each other down. Overall, I think that this was a book Kate DiCamillo really needed to write for herself, and it turned out well.
Everything about this story made my heart sing!
