About the Author: Kate DiCamillo is one of America\'s most beloved storytellers.
In a touching, funny, and fearless conclusion to her sequence of novels about the beloved Three Rancheros, #1 New York Times best-selling author Kate DiCamillo tells the story of a character who will break your heart and put it back together again.
But despite her best efforts, she can\'t help forming connections with the people around her -- and gradually, she learns to see herself through their eyes.
Beverly doesn\'t want to depend on anyone, and she definitely doesn\'t want anyone to depend on her.
Determined to make it on her own, Beverly finds a job and a place to live and tries to forget about her dog, Buddy, now buried underneath the orange trees back home; her friend Raymie, whom she left without a word; and her mom, Rhonda, who has never cared about anyone but herself.
It\'s leaving.
By now, she figures, it\'s not running away.
Beverly Tapinski has run away from home plenty of times, but that was when she was just a kid.
To stay away.
To get away as fast as she could.
To get away.
This was what Beverly wanted -- what she always wanted.
They went faster still.
Beverly put her foot down on the gas.
