What other granddaughter-grandmother duo could successfully drive the getaway car for chickens rescued from a journey to the slaughterhouse, paint a whole house shocking pink, and operate their own personal secret-letter post office?\u003cbr\u003e So, when Miss Eula leaves for Hawaii to visit her new grandbaby, Ruby is sure that she will have a lonely, empty, horrible summer in boring old Halleluia, Mississippi. What happens instead? She makes a new friend, saves the school play, writes plenty of letters to her favorite (and only) grandmother . . . and finally learns to stop blaming herself for her grandfather's death. Not too bad, for a nine-year-old.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWiles, Deborah:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eDEBORAH WILES\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of\u003ci\u003e Each Little Bird That Sings, \u003c\/i\u003e a National Book Award finalist; \u003ci\u003eLove, Ruby Lavender, \u003c\/i\u003e an ALA Notable Children's Book, a Children's Book Sense 76 Pick, an NCTE Notable Book for the Language Arts, and a New York Public Library Book for Reading and Sharing; \u003ci\u003eFreedom Summer\u003c\/i\u003e, a Coretta Scott King Honor Book;\u003ci\u003e The Aurora County All-Stars, \u003c\/i\u003ea New York Public Library Book for Reading and Sharing; and \u003ci\u003eOne Wide Sky.\u003c\/i\u003e She lives in Georgia.\u003cb\u003ewww.deborahwiles.com\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Clarion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50626523529490,"sku":"9780152054786","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_632c3251-b09d-4e94-871c-2232614ed1b4.jpg?v=1732660779","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/love-ruby-lavender-9780152054786","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
