Description
Ruby Jones is that girl. You know that girl? The one who does something totally embarrassing in the first year of high school and nobody ever forgets it?!
Ruby Jones has just started Year 7 and everything is going wrong. Why is she so awkward?! And why does her crush have such perfect hair and teeth?! It’s really distracting! Not only that, but her dad has suddenly been using words like slay (ick!) and her BFF might actually be turning into an EFL (that’s Enemy For Life!).
Can Year 7 possibly get any worse? (Spoiler: it actually can.)
Review
Ruby Jones is just starting Year 7 with her best friend Hailey. They are sure everything will be great, but life never goes to plan...
Everything is going wrong for Ruby - she has a massive fight with Hailey, she kicks a shoe in a teacher’s face, and to top it all off she walks into assembly with her skirt stuck in her undies! At least she has made one new friend in Tess.
How will she ever face going to school again, let alone the Year 7 dance?!
Ruby is a delightfully awkward character, and this is all about the challenges of starting high school. It’s about family, friendship, growing up, and learning that everyone has problems and that it’s okay to ask for help. This will be sure to resonate with readers as we have all experienced one of Ruby’s problems at some point - well, maybe not kicking your shoe at a teacher! A fun read that is perfect for readers in upper primary and lower secondary.
