If life got really bad at home, would you run away with a friend's help? If you did, what would you do if your friend backed our last minute when you were prepared to leave? For Peyton, it was to leave after her uncle's wedding... when her friend pulls out, she ends up getting a ride with Jace... a guy she thought loved...

Review: Ruby Red is about young Gwyneth Shepard whose family is far from normal... like having a grandmother that can read minds... or a cousin that's "supposed" to be able to time travel. But what if the gene you're the one with the "time travel" gene instead? This is the first book in The Ruby Red Trilogy. 1. Ruby Red 2. Sapphire Blue 3. Emerald Green.

Rating:  It was amazing!


This is the best summer read! Poor little Dewey was found in a library drop box in Spencer Iowa. The book was on his 18 years of being THE library cat; all his fun little games and loving his rescuer, Vicki Myron. This is a true story, and the best true story I've ever read.

I would recommend this to:  EVERYONE!
