Ruby Holler is a heartwarming adventure about finding family and a home when you least expect it. This delightful novel by Sharon Creech, the Newbery Medal-winning author of Walk Two Moons, captures the imaginations of readers of all ages.
Dallas and Florida, known as the "trouble twins," have spent their short thirteen years moving between countless foster homes, only to return to their dreary orphanage, Boxton Creek Home. Run by the greedy and strict Trepids, Boxton Creek seems impossible to escape.
When Mr. Trepid informs the twins that they’ll be helping old Tiller and Sairy Morey go on separate adventures, Dallas and Florida are suspicious. As they adjust to the natural beauty of the outdoors and help the Tillers prepare for their adventures, they foil a robbery and embark on a journey that leads them home to Ruby Holler.
This novel is a wonderful, magical story that combines quirky action and adventure with themes of family, loyalty, and learning to belong.
