Summary: A Wounder Full Book
Review: My daughter and I read this book initially because it is one of the Mark Twain Award New Nominees. It is a fast read full of sweetness, humor, sadness, and friendship. This story is much fuller and broader than the book description on the cover. It is not about chickens! Read it, it will open your heart!

Summary: Charming!
Review: Nine-year-old Ruby is a feisty girl living in rural Mississippi. This story chronicles a summer in her life in which many defining events occur, including some truths about her grandfather's death. The dialog and situations make for an extremely appealing slice of life in a small town, with vivid characters abounding. Wonderful!

Summary: "Good garden of peas! What a summer!"
Review: Ruby has always had her Miss Eula (her grandma) in Halleluia Mississippi, all to herself, but when Miss Eula leaves to go visit her new grandbaby Ruby is " stuck in boring old Halleluia , Mississippi, with nothing to do except read to her chickens, sweep floors (torture), and be tormented by the curly haired, tip-tapping Melba Jane."
this book was very very good and i would reccamend this for children and adults- with a sense of humor, this is a very funny book.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: STRONG RECOMMEND! This is the charming, funny, and moving story of 9 year-old Ruby Garnet Lavender and how she copes with life the summer her grandmother and best friend, Miss Eula, goes off to visit Hawaii. This is the perfect book for third, fourth, and fifth graders. Watch out for Ruby's Questionnaire - that was where I nearly died laughing! Oh, and the chickens are FABULOUS!

Summary: Love Ruby Lavender
Review: This book is about a girl named Ruby and her grandma named Miss Eula. This book takes place in the country. Ruby is a very nice girl. She does a lot of activities with her grandmother. In the beginning Ruby and her grandmother chase chickens they only catch three. Ruby and her grandma Eula have a secret mailbox that no one knows about. This is a realistic fiction book.
Mrs. Wiles tells most of the characters point of view. She also included letters in the book that Ruby and Miss Eula wrote to each other. This book is a very kind book I recommend this book to boys and girls that like spending time with their grandmothers like me.
