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.

 因为一节棒操课，瑞米与贝弗莉、路易斯安娜相识。三个女孩性格各异，却意外结为了好友。在那个夏天，她们一起拜访疗养院、乘坐旅行车、夜探收容所……经历了一系列惊心动魄的事件，三个女孩不仅收获了珍贵的友谊，更找到了生命存在的意义。故事的结尾，三个好朋友登上了观光塔的塔顶，手拉手眺望着这个世界……
