Raymie may not find answers to why the world exists or how the world works, but she can hold onto friends and begin to see more clearly the world as it is…Once again, DiCamillo demonstrates the power of simple words in a beautiful and wise tale. Readers will approach the tense and dramatic conclusion and realize how much each word matters. ( Booklist, starred review)ĭiCamillo’s third-person narrative is written in simple words, few exceeding three syllables, yet somehow such modest prose carries the weight of deep meditations on life, death, the soul, friendship, and the meaning of life without ever seeming heavy, and there’s even a miracle to boot. As in her previous award-winning books, DiCamillo once again shows that life’s underlying sadnesses can also be studded with hope and humor, and does it in a way so true that children will understand it in their bones.
