Raymie Nightingale
Meet the Three Rancheros. Raymie Clarke, nicknamed Raymie "Nightingale", Louisiana Elephante and stroppy Beverly Tapinski. The girls meet at a baton-twirling contest. Raymie wants to win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire competition so that her father, who ran off with his dental nurse, will read about her in the newspaper and come home. Louisiana wants to win the prize money so she will be able to afford to stay with her eccentric Granny and not be taken to a children's home. Beverly wants to sabotage the competition!
Each girl is struggling with difficult life circumstances. Through interacting with a rich array of characters, deep thoughts about souls, good deeds and focusing on your objective, Raymie tries to navigate through her loss.
The girls end up in a series of adventures, including trying to retrieve a lost book from an old age home, attempting to rescue a cat from a shelter, adopting a stray dog and setting free a caged canary. They are mischievous and make a number of wrong choices, but they also learn about courage, love and the comfort of friendship.
Recommended for age 9 +
