Ferris
Ferris is a warm, funny coming-of-age story for readers ages 8–12 about a girl navigating the summer chaos before the fifth grade. This middle-grade tale from Kate DiCamillo blends family humor, friendship, and a touch of magic into a comforting, adventurous read that resonates with both kids and adults who love heartfelt stories.
Written with Kate DiCamillo's signature warmth, the tale unfolds through Ferris's perspective as she navigates a summer of delightful chaos. Pinky, the aspiring outlaw, stirs up mischief while Uncle Ted haunts the Wilkey basement with a grand project to document the history of the world, and Charisse—their grandmother—has begun seeing a ghost in her doorway. But this ghost isn't there to depart; she brings wild, impractical, and illuminating plans that upend Ferris's days and enlarge her world. The story balances these comic moments with tenderness, offering a hopeful, adventurous look at family, courage, and growing up.
Ferris moves with a gentle, engaging rhythm that makes the world feel both familiar and magical. The writing invites readers to linger on small, true-to-life moments while savoring the big bursts of laughter and wonder that come from a household where love, resilience, and imagination carry the day. If you enjoy stories that mix the fantastic with the truth of everyday life, Ferris delivers a charming blend of humor, heart, and a touch of the supernatural that stays with you long after the last page.

- Whimsical, heartfelt blend of humor and gentle magical realism
- Engaging, readable structure with vivid settings and quick pacing
