Kate DiCamillo: Beverly, Right Here

BEVERLY TAPINSKI has run away from home plenty of times before, but now that she's fourteen she figures it's not running away. It's leaving.

Determined to make it on her own, Beverly finds a job and a place to live and plans not to depend on anyone - or to have anyone depend on her. 

But despite her best efforts she cant help forming connections with those around her: Iola from the trailer park, Doris and Charles at Mr C's fish restaurant, Elmer who works at Zoom City... And gradually Beverly learns to see herself through their eyes.
