Ruby Lu: Star of the Show
By: Lenore Look

This book was one of the funniest books I have ever read. Thinking back to how my life was in the third grade, I'm sure it was very similar to little Ruby's. Ruby feels like she has it rough. For a third grader, she does. After her father loses his job, Ruby feels it is up to her to find a way to provide money. Her mother has to begin working full time and is constantly stressed out. To make matters worse, Ruby had to give up her dog because someone finally claimed him! She is even struggling in school and doesn't like her teacher Mr. Yu very much. With her friends on 20th Avenue South, Ruby comes up with plans to fix everything going on. Although many of them fail, she begins to realize that everything is going to be okay. Following along with her story had me in tears from laughing at her cute ideas and fun spirit. I liked this book very much. I think this would be a fun quick read for any classroom.
