Trivia queen, 3rd grade supreme, paperback/derrick d. barnes

Ruby Booker takes the spotlight (well, thats the plan anyway.

) Eight-year-old Ruby Booker is the baby sis of Marcellus (11), Roosevelt (10), and Tyner (9), the most popular boys on Chill Brook Ave.

When Ruby isnt hanging with her friend, Theresa Petticoat, shes finding out what kind of mischief her brothers are getting into.

Shes sweet and sassy and every bit as tough as her older siblings.

She sings like nobodys business; she has a pet iguana named Lady Love; her favorite color is grape-jelly purple; and she has BIG plans.

Shes going to be the most famous woman animal doctor on the planet.

Shes the fabulous, oh-so-spectacular Ruby Marigold Booker.
