She feels like the entire universe is spinning around her and she is suffering from a love-hate relationship with most people in her life. For instance, Ruby seems to be overjoyed when her baby brother Oscar is born but soon Ruby becomes sad and frustrated that she doesn't get enough attention anymore. She adores and loves her baby brother, but sometimes, jealousy does creep in! Ruby is usually a very energetic and happy girl.

One day, when her mom asks her to go to the Chinese School on Saturdays to learn Chinese, Ruby is sad and frustrated! Ruby reluctantly starts going to the Chinese school, and eventually, though, she starts to like the language.

❇ This book is kinda similar to Clementine and Dory Fantasmagory.

❇ This is a refreshing and fun chapter book with short chapters and frequent drawings.

❇ Perfect for 5-8 aged kids. It can also be a read-aloud for younger ones.
