High-flying Ruby soars to new heights!

After watching her big cousin Kee Kee compete in a cheerleading competition, Ruby attempts to copy some of the high-flying moves she saw earlier. This cheerleading stuff could be just the thing to bring her a ton of attention. But during practice with Marcellus, she injures her arm and must be rushed to the hospital. The doctors fit her with a hot-pink cast that turns out to be a great conversation piece. After giving a million different versions of the accident to everyone at school, she becomes the center of attention after all!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ruby and the Booker Boys #4: Ruby Flips For Attention (Mass Market Paperback)

I am 5 years old and I feel like a diva, just like Ruby Booker. I loved this book and the illustrations. Ruby and her family seem like real people to me. Parents should get this book for big girls and little girls. My mom and I enjoyed reading it together. As a parent I thought the lessons in the book were taught in an amusing way without clubbing children over the head. I think it provides a wonderful opportunity for mothers and daughters to talk about the lessons Ruby learns. Ruby speaks and acts like modern black girls . She is bright, positive and fun. My 5 year old completely related to her. My daughter and I highly recommend this book and all the other Ruby Booker books.

I have read all 4 Ruby books and they are quite entertaining. It is good to have a character that is refelective of an African-American child being a kid.
