Ruby Holler

     Have you ever wanted to be free? Just out in the open, with roaming fields all around you, and a small cottage to suit your needs? Well, in this young-adult, and adventure book, Ruby Holler, Sharon Creech will keep you trapped in that little world from cover, to cover. Creech takes you through the life of Dallas, and Florida Carter. But, many people call them, "The Trouble Twins." You see, these syblings are orphans, and have been for quite some time. They have been tossed and thrown to many families, but sadly, they just can't handle these twins. So, Dallas and Florida just give up hope on being brought into a loving, kind family, and so does everyone else.
     As more and more orphans come and go from the orphanage, "The Trouble Twins" are still there. Until one day when an old couple named Tiller, and Sairy Morey come to adopt them. The relationship between the four characters does not start out so well. But, as the days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, things finally begin to settle down. From mean orphanage hosts, to the vast outdoors, Ruby Holler will stick with you forever. When Dallas and Florida thought that they would never get adopted, they finally find themselves in a home that is more than they could possibly imagine.
     This book is so fun, and interesting from start to finish, I could hardly put it down! At the beginning, this book was a little bit slow, but as I kept reading, I just kept wanting more of it. What Sharon Creech really wnats to tell you through this book is that, even in the darkest of storms, you can always find light.
     Ruby Holler was such a fun book to read! It will keep you captivated inside its pages until you finish the very last page. Sharon Creech has really written such an amazing book that surely gets an A+.
