On page 22, Ruby is meeting her grandmother for the first time in a long time. This book really gives the reader a mental picture of what’s happening. Although it’s simple, it’s an amazing book. This selection is not challenging to read, it is actually sort of easy. The author compares Ruby’s red converse, to Dorothy’s ruby, red slippers. I like the way the author always compares Ruby’s life to her favorite movie The Wizard of Oz. Just by reading the back cover, I was determined to read this book. The author, Tricia Rayburn does a phenomenal job of pulling the reader in. I couldn’t put the book down! This selection is strong because you can always predict what’s going to happen next, but it’s almost never what you expected. This book is realistic fiction, this didn’t happen, but it’s possible! This book keeps you reading at least it did for me. Ruby has never even heard of email, where in Florida, that’s the only communication device that they use! As Ruby learns how the people at her new school act, she begins to despise the “queen of the school”, Ava Grand. It’s a big change to move from Kansas to Florida. Ruby has lived with her mother all her life, and when Grandma Dottie gets lonely, Ruby and her mother have to move. Ruby’s Slippers by Tricia Rayburn is about a young girl facing the troubles of moving from state to state.
