The Beatryce Prophecy by Kate DiCamillo

3/4/2024

Kate DiCamillo is genius when it comes to creating characters with a subtle stroke. She is particularly good with animals. No exception in The Beatryce Prophecy. It’s hard not to love the grumpy goat, Answelica, who has a penchant for sending humans airborne, but lends a soft ear to comfort Beatryce. DiCamillo writes with a wonderful medieval fairy-tale voice here—and of course her signature strong female protagonist who takes us on a journey that uncovers the meaning of loyalty, love, devotion, and the power that reading and storytelling offers.
