When last we saw Ruby Lu,
she had just met her new best
friend and cousin, Flying Duck,
at the airport. Flying Duck and her parents
are staying with Ruby's family and the girl
just couldn't be happier. Sure, her cousin is
still learning the language and she's deaf, but
she's also absolutely the coolest kid in school.
This year, however, may turn out to be a
difficult one of our heroine. Between getting
into fights with former best friend Emma,
hiding some very important letters from her
teacher, getting into trouble at school, and a
myriad of other adventures, Ruby Lu's got a
lot on her plate. Fortunately, there's a whole
summer ahead of her and she's going to
tackle each and every problem with her usual
flair, no matter what.
The illustrations are funny, engaging and
amusing, plus the protagonist is someone
that many kids can relate to, make this an
attractive choice for younger tween readers.
