Beverly, Right Here by Kate DiCamillo
5.0
There’s always something about Kate DiCamillo that’s different than anything else I read. I could go in blind and recognize her writing immediately. It’s quiet and poignant and every word on the page matters because it’s written with such importance.
I’ve loved The Three Rancheros series since it’s started and Beverly was my favorite. She’s been through the wringer and came out stronger. The death of Buddy in the first sentence gutted me and Beverly as well as she upends her life to run away from home and start fresh at the Florida coast. I loved Elmer and Iola and Doris. The secondary characters are always so important in DiCamillo’s stories and seem so real to me. I love the simplicity as well as the seriousness feel of the entire series and I’m sad it’s over.
