Love, Ruby Lavender

Oh, woe is Ruby Lavender! Ruby Lavender and Miss Eula are a pretty good team, for a couple of chicken thieves. What other granddaughter-grandmother duo would drive the getaway car for chickens rescued from the slaughterhouse, or paint a whole house shell-shock pink? But now Miss Eula has up and left for Hawaii to visit her new (smelly) grandbaby. Poor Ruby. 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. But nine-year-old Ruby is in for some Big surprises!Wiles, Deborah is the author of 'Love, Ruby Lavender', published 2005 under ISBN 9780152054786 and ISBN 0152054782.
