Ruby is a lovable and relatable protagonist, and readers will root for her as she navigates her new environment and learns valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and perseverance.

The story is full of heart and humor, and it explores important themes such as belonging, identity, and the power of hope. The book also touches on animal rights issues and promotes compassion and understanding towards animals and their well-being.

48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister by Joyce Carol Oates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was unlike other books I have read. I loved that there were clues and the reader was made to come to their own conclusions. This could be frustrating to some and fascinating to others. I was so intrigued. It was a fun read for that reason. I loved feeling like I was responsible for the answers to the mystery! A great read and a book that would be perfect for book clubs!
