In order to pass time on a ten-hour drive to visit my husband's family, he and I took turns reading outloud Ruthie's Gift, which we had bought as a gift for our niece. The story was interesting and realistic, and we found ourselves getting emotionally involved with all of the book's characters, especially Ruthie. The ending truly touched our hearts. It was not surprising that I, the emotional one in the family, had to struggle through tears to finish reading the last page. It was my husband's tears that said it all - this is a special book for all ages.

I read this over 2 years ago, and I still remember very well what happens. It is great book for 8 to 11 year old girls. I guess really anybody would like it.

I liked how I never knew what would happen next. I also thought Ruthie's Gift was the best written book I have read. I hope you will love it as much as I did. I read it in my third grade class. I recommend this book for everyone.

My 3rd/4th grade class could relate to Ruthie - a lonely 3rd grader as she shared her love, anger, trials, and adventures. There was historical information threaded throughout as well as depth and warmth to the main character. My class was totally enthralled. They hope there will be a sequel!

I have read this book many times. It is a wonderful story based on true stories about the authors Great Aunt. I think that every girl will love this book.

Rutheis Gift is about a girl that has three older brothers and three youger brothers ,pluss her mom is prengnant.Ruthie feels traped because there are so many boys and no girls, and at scool she is the only purson in thired grade.when she findes out that her mom is pergnant she prayed day and night that the baby is a girl.
Some people don't always get what they want but fineds something better instead. I think that anyone that likes historical fiction sould read this book because I dont even like historical fiction and i loved it.
so I really recommend this book to everyone.

This book starts with Ruthie on her farm in Indiana in 1916. Ruthie is an 8 year old with long black hair and a tom boy. She lives in a family with 6 brothers.I like how Ruthie tries so hard so hard to be what her mom wants her to be a"lady". But Ruthie Can't help it she said she needs a special doll she thinks that it will her become a lady. Its hard for cause she she has no friends and she's the only in her grade.Untill some Friends move in near her. With help from them she may be able to become one.If you want to find out what her speacil gift is you should read this book I recommend this to people who like people fighthing for their rights.

Ruthie Hawk (now known as Ruth Brubaker) is a young girl who wants a sister so bad she would do anything for it is a girl with a tough life. Some of the things she faces are people like Maude and Rosemary;who make fun of her,and also being the middle child/only girl with six brothers. Kim my sister tells just as I remeber my grandmother telling it to us while we visit. Kim changed only the things she had to so it would be like what my grandmother said!!! I loved it!!!

This was a great book about a young girl growing up in Indiana right before World War 1. Ruthie wants a sister but she comes to appreciate her 6 brothers.
