Book Synopsis

In Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo''s heartfelt middle-grade debut about family, friendship, and finding your own identity, Ruby Moon Hayes learns there''s more to a person''s story than what other people tell.

Twelve-year-old Ruby Moon Hayes does not want her new classmates to ask about her father. She does not want them to know her mother has been arrested. And she definitely does not want to make any friends. Ruby just wants to stay as silent and invisible as a new moon in the frozen sky. She and her mother won't be staying long in Vermont anyway, and then things can go back to the way they were before everything went wrong.

But keeping to herself isn't easy when Ahmad Saleem, a Syrian refugee, decides he's her new best friend. Or when she meets the Bird Lady, a recluse named Abigail who lives in a ramshackle shed near Ruby's house. Before long Ahmad and Abigail have become Ruby's friendsand she realizes there is more to their stories than everyone knows.
