Reader reviewed by Dianne Ochiltree
The author has really hit the mark with this charming, hilarious, and poignant book for pre-teens and younger teenaged girls. The narrative tone is at times bitingly funny or achingly wistful, or sometimes inbetween, but at all times it rings true. Ruby is a compelling teen character that is at once contemporary and classic. Today's teen girls will recognize and relate to her tumult of emotions about her life and the people in it. It's a wonderful read for any girl from ages 12 and up. It would also be a perfect choice for a mother/daughter book discussion group. Lots of great issues to talk about wrapped up in this entertaining story!
