I love these series. Ruby is a strong, confident and happy little girl. My daughter loves to sing just like Ruby and can really relate to the character. She has her cute cornrolls like my daughter and enjoys being with her friends. GREAT BOOK my daughter reads it to me with no problems. The chapters are short and interesting. Great illustrations, he has done a great job with this series.

I have a 9 year old daughter who isn't interested in reading anything unless it has something to do with Chris Brown! This easy read chapter book really held her interest. She finished the book in three days and is asking for additional titles in this series. She was able to relate to the storyline which kept her in stitches as she laughed at the pranks throughout the story. This was a great buy. I am looking forward to other books in the series to keep her just as engaged and eager to read.
Great for young girls

I bought this book for my daughter and she loves it. I enjoy the broad imagination the author uses. The written langugae introduces new words to young readers and help them to use words to express feelings and thoughts. My daughter enjoys reading this book to her friends and to the family. I am excited that she is excited about reading.
Excellent New Series
