Ruby Holler
Ruby Holler, by Sharon Creech
For those that love Young Adult fiction, this is a lovely book to read. I've been recommending it all over the place. My mom recognized the similarities between other books I've passed on to my parents lately, "Bud, Not Buddy" and "The Secret Life of Bees." Young kids in difficult situations find themselves with caring adults that make all the difference in their worlds.
In Ruby Holler, it is the "Trouble Twins" that find themselves in a pretty valley called Ruby Holler when they go to a new foster home. The dialog tells the story in this book. The characters are rich and interesting. A great book to read when you don't have hours to devote to reading and want to enjoy good writing.
