“one of those hideous books where the mother dies” is a fast paced book for teenaged girls. Sonya Sones , writing in free verse, lets Ruby tell about being transplanted to L.A to live with the movie star father she has never met. The story covers the 3 months it takes for her to realize the old life is a continent away and her dad is worthy of the name. Girls will enjoy glimpses of life in California and recognize the emotions brought on by a change of parent and home. A great choice for a reluctant reader who likes a high interest topic.
