Love, Ruby Lavender
(age 8-11)
by Deborah Wiles
letters/journal ... illness/loss ... family
When Ruby's grandmother, Miss Eula goes to visit her new grandbaby in Hawaii,
Ruby is sure that she will have a lonely, empty, horrible summer without her in boring
old Halleluia, Mississippi. What happens instead? She makes a new friend, saves the school
play, writes plenty of letters to her favorite (and only) grandmother . . . and finally
learns to stop blaming herself for her grandfather's death. Not too bad, for a nine-year-old.
