      abstract = {Raymie Clarke has come to realize that everything,  absolutely everything, depends on her. And she has a plan.  If Raymie can win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire  competition, then her father, who left town two days ago  with a dental hygienist, will see Raymie's picture in the  paper and (maybe) come home. To win, not only does Raymie  have to do good deeds and learn how to twirl a baton; she  also has to contend with the wispy, frequently fainting  Louisiana Elefante, who has a show-business background, and  the fiery, stubborn Beverly Tapinski, who's determined to  sabotage the contest. But as the competition approaches,  loneliness, loss, and unanswerable questions draw the three  girls into an unlikely friendship -- and challenge each of  them to come to the rescue in unexpected ways.},
