筆下一段異想天開的競賽之旅，讓女孩們的人生，走上一段充滿驚喜的超展開劇情
瑞米發現一切，沒錯，就是一切，都要靠自己。所以她有一個計畫。如果她能拿下佛羅里達輪胎小姐后冠，那麼她那兩天前跟牙科衛生員一起離開小鎮的老爸就會在報上看到瑞米的照片之後回家（有可能啦）。

為了贏，瑞米開始要做好多事，還要學怎麼旋轉指揮棒，同時她還得盡全力跟擁有企業背景的路易斯安娜還有固執卻又能影響比賽走向的比佛莉競爭。

但隨著比賽逼近，孤獨、失落還有一堆難以解決的問題讓這三個女孩發展出一段看起來不太真實的友情，而挑戰也正以意想不到的方式找上她們。（文／博客來編譯）

In her seventh novel, international bestselling author and twice winner of the prestigious Newbery Medal Kate DiCamillo tells a masterful story that blends pathos and humour. 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 has run away 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, but she has to compete with the wispy, frequently fainting Louisiana Elefante with her 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 them to come to each other's rescue in unexpected ways.
