Whenever I read Kate DiCamillo, I have a lump in my throat and a smile on my face the whole time. She writes the way I aspire to write. Beverly, Right Here—the final installment of the Three Rancheros series—did not disappoint!

Day 15: I didn't actually read this book until I was an adult, but I really identified with Jess in The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Jess is an artistic kid growing up on a farm, and he lost someone important to him.
