Beverly, Right Here
Kate DiCamillo
After her dog Buddy dies, fourteen-year-old Beverly Tapinski leaves her neglectful mother and travels to another small Florida town. She finds work bussing tables at a diner and accepts a room from Iola in return for driving her to weekly bingo. Beverly also meets Elmer, an art-loving convenience-store worker. Although she wants to remain apart from others, the people she encounters share loneliness, work struggles, and unexpected connections with her.
