About the book
From the winner of the Newbery Award for Walk Two Moons comes a novel for young people about finding love -- and a home -- in the most unexpected of places. Filled with humor, poignancy, cookies, and treasure maps, Ruby Holler is about a special place where it's never too late to be loved.Dallas and Florida have been dubbed the "trouble twins." They have been shuffled between foster families and orphanages all their lives, longing only for a loving place to call home, though mistrustful that one exists for the likes of them.
