Time for my latest "book at the beach." This is another one read mostly while on break from working as a lifeguard at the beach. It's a great beach read, too. A middle-school age girl learns a lesson about friendship and self-confidence through dealing with a bully, family drama, and being the new girl.
Ruby and her mother move from rural Kansas to suburban Florida. At her new school, every student has a cell phone, and all the girls wear sundresses and perfect accessories. Ruby, on the other hand, wears dirty converse sneakers, carries an ABBA lunchbox, and doesn't know how to use email, much less a cell phone! I love the quirky characters, and the book has a great message. Very fun!
