I plucked Ruby’s Imagine off of the shelf because of the cover. It’s a tiny little book with a half flap type of book cover. It was appealing. And then it sat on the shelf in my house for weeks. When I finished the Weiner book, it was late at night but not quite time to turn off the lights so I grabbed this one. Something small, short, quick – and also something that needs to go back to the library soon.
I had no idea what this book was about.
A teenage girl in NOLA in the days leading up to/during Katrina.
If I’d known what it was about, I probably wouldn’t have checked it out. I’m glad I didn’t know because it was good. Great writing, excellent story, characters I enjoyed getting to know just a little bit. I don’t know if Kim Antieau has written anything else, but I think I’m going to find out.
