Kate DiCamillo Books Overview

Mercy Watson to the Rescue

From the one and only Kate DiCamillo comes an irresistible new hero for early chapter book readers, brightly captured with comic nostalgic flair by Chris Van Dusen. To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig she’s a porcine wonder. And to the portly and good natured Mercy, the Watsons are an excellent source of buttered toast, not to mention that buttery toasty feeling she gets when she snuggles into bed with them. This is not, however, so good for the Watsons’ bed. BOOM! CRACK! As the bed and its occupants slowly sink through the floor, Mercy escapes in a flash ‘to alert the fire department,’ her owners assure themselves. But could Mercy possibly have another emergency in mind like a sudden craving for their neighbors’ sugar cookies? Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson an ebullient new character for early chapter book readers in a series that’s destined to be a classic.

Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride

The New York Times best selling porcine wonder finds herself behind the wheel in this hilarious new adventure!

Mr. and Mrs. Watson’s porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a ‘You are such a good sport, darling’ to get the portly pig out of the driver s seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout.

One day the Watsons motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some ‘folly and adventure’ and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! Soon there s a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy. Of course, it s nothing that an extra helping of buttered toast can t fix!

Mercy Watson Fights Crime

The beguiling porcine wonder turns bucking bronco to snare a robber in this hilarious new addition to the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling series.

Leroy Ninker is a small man with a big dream: he wants to be a cowboy, but for now he’s just a thief. In fact, Leroy is robbing the Watsons’ kitchen right this minute! As he drags the toaster across the counter screeeeeech and drops it into his bag clannngggg little does he know that a certain large pig who loves toast with a great deal of butter is stirring from sleep. Even less could he guess that comedy of errors not to mention the buttery sweets in his pocket will soon lead this little man on the wild and raucous rodeo ride he’s always dreamed of! Nosy neighbors, astonished firemen, a puzzled policeman, and the ever doting Watsons return for a new tongue in snout adventure about Kate DiCamillo’s delightfully single minded pig.

Princess in Disguise

Can visions of treats entice a porcine wonder to wear her princess costume? Hold on for some Halloween havoc, Mercy Watson style!When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween complete with tiara they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick or TREATING and can picture those piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would get into the act and lead them all on a Halloween ‘parade’ of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.

Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

Can Mercy Watson outwit…
Animal Control? The porcine wonder’s on the lam in her latest tongue in snout adventure!Eugenia and Baby Lincoln may live next door to a pig, but that doesn t stop them from living a gracious life. And the amiable Mercy Watson is equally determined to follow the delightful scent and delicious taste of the pansies her thoughtful neighbors are planting to beautify their yard. ‘Where have all the flowers gone?’ shouts Eugenia, who is finally ready to take extreme measures and dial Animal Control! Has Mercy s swine song come at last? Or will her well pampered instincts keep her in buttered toast?From the Hardcover edition.

Something Wonky This Way Comes

The porcine wonder is off to the drive in and driven to follow that buttery smell in a comic crescendo that reunites a familiar cast of characters. Some may find it wonky to take a pig to the movies. But not Mr. and Mrs. Watson, who think the title of the film, WHEN PIGS FLY, is inspirational. And not their beloved Mercy, who is inspired by the fact that the drive in proudly serves real butter on its Bottomless Bucket of popcorn. So when they pull up in their convertible, Mercy lifts her snout and becomes a pig on a mission for what is more heavenly than being hot on the trail of a true butter smell? Masterful slapstick director Kate DiCamillo sends Mercy on a delirious chase, followed by a trail of hapless rescuers whom fans will recognize from prior episodes. And Chris Van Dusen’s comic retro illustrations perfectly capture a nostalgic pastime along with the newest antics of a charmingly single minded pig.

Bink and Gollie

Winner of the 2011 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award!In a brilliant collaboration, best selling authors Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, along with acclaimed illustrator Tony Fucile, introduce an outrageously funny pair of friends. Meet Bink and Gollie, two precocious little girls one tiny, one tall, and both utterly irrepressible. Setting out from their super deluxe tree house and powered by plenty of peanut butter for Bink and pancakes for Gollie, they share three comical adventures involving painfully bright socks, an impromptu trek to the Andes, and a most unlikely marvelous companion. No matter where their roller skates take them, at the end of the day they will always be the very best of friends. Full of quick witted repartee, this brainchild of Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and award winning author Alison McGhee is a hilarious ode to exuberance and camaraderie, imagination and adventure, brought to life through the delightfully kinetic images of Tony Fucile.

Because of Winn-Dixie

The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn Dixie supermarket and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn Dixie. Because of Winn Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of War and Peace. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, an ex con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar.

Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends, and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship and forgiveness can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.

Recalling the fiction of Harper Lee and Carson McCullers, here is a funny, poignant, and utterly genuine first novel from a major new talent.

The Tiger Rising

‘It seemed as if the tiger was a magic trick, rising out of the mist.’ It’s six months since Rob’s mum died and he moved to Florida. His dad won’t talk about her at all. ‘Crying ain’t going to bring her back,’ he says. So Rob fills a suitcase in his mind with all his forbidden thoughts the rash on his legs, the bullies at school and keeps it tight shut. But when he finds a caged tiger deep in the woods, his whole life begins to change. That same day he meets Sistine Bailey, another outsider who’s bullied at school. She says they must set the tiger free and when Rob imagines The Tiger Rising out of its cage, his suitcase begins to open…

The Tale of Despereaux

The adventures of Desperaux Tilling, a small mouse of unusual talents, the princess that he loves, the servant girl who longs to be a princess, and a devious rat determined to bring them all to ruin. /Content /EditorialReview EditorialReview Source Amazon. com Review /Source Content Kate DiCamillo, author of the Newbery Honor book Because of Winn Dixie, spins a tidy tale of mice and men where she explores the ‘powerful, wonderful, and ridiculous’ nature of love, hope, and forgiveness. Her old fashioned, somewhat dark story, narrated ‘Dear Reader’ style, begins ‘within the walls of a castle, with the birth of a mouse.’ Despereaux Tilling, the new baby mouse, is different from all other mice. Sadly, the romantic, unmouselike spirit that leads the unusually tiny, large eared mouse to the foot of the human king and the beautiful Princess Pea ultimately causes him to be banished by his own father to the foul, rat filled dungeon.

The first book of four tells Despereaux’s sad story, where he falls deeply in love with Princess Pea and meets his cruel fate. The second book introduces another creature who differs from his peers Chiaroscuro, a rat who instead of loving the darkness of his home in the dungeon, loves the light so much he ends up in the castle& in the queen’s soup. The third book describes young Miggery Sow, a girl who has been ‘clouted’ so many times that she has cauliflower ears. Still, all the slow witted, hard of hearing Mig dreams of is wearing the crown of Princess Pea. The fourth book returns to the dungeon bound Despereaux and connects the lives of mouse, rat, girl, and princess in a dramatic denouement.

Children whose hopes and dreams burn secretly within their hearts will relate to this cast of outsiders who desire what is said to be out of their reach and dare to break ‘never to be broken rules of conduct.’ Timothy Basil Ering’s pencil illustrations are stunning, reflecting DiCamillo’s extensive light and darkness imagery as well as the sweet, fragile nature of the tiny mouse hero who lives happily ever after.

Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes’ camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis.
