Beverly, Right Here by Kate DiCamillo
4.0
This is the third book in the Three Rancheros series. I like all three books as they are simple stories about young ladies going through complicated situations with grace and ease. In this final installment, Beverly has to bury her beloved dog Buddy. Soon after burying Buddy, she leaves town as she doesn't want to be with her alcoholic mother any longer.
Once Beverly arrives in Florida, she gets a job and finds a place to stay. All of this happens because adults around her are kind and caring. The characters on the sidelines in DiCamillo's novels are always colorful and interesting. The same is true for this book also. Iola takes in the young Beverly because she needs Beverly as much as Beverly needs her.
Beverly doesn't overstay her welcome in Florida. She stays long enough to figure out her place in the world and what it means to have family.
