Kate DiCamillo | Beverly Right Here
Beverly, Right Here by two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo is a tender, funny, and fearless coming-of-age story about independence, loss and the unexpected power of belonging. Fourteen-year-old Beverly Tapinski has run away from home before, but this time she insists she isn't running away – she's leaving. Determined to make it on her own, she finds a job and a place to live while trying to forget the people and losses she has left behind.
Beverly wants neither to depend on anyone nor to have anyone depend on her. Yet despite her determination to remain detached, new relationships begin to challenge the protective walls she has built around herself. Gradually, she discovers that seeing herself through the eyes of others can change the way she understands her own worth. The concluding novel in DiCamillo's beloved Three Rancheros sequence, Beverly, Right Here is a beautifully understated story about grief, friendship, family, and finding the courage to let yourself belong.
