Good book ( )This book is about two twins who are orphans and they have spent their whole life being carted around to different foster parents. Who all turn about to be unbeilivably cruel. Untill the find the perfect foster parents. A sweet and touching story about finding love and family. Tiller and Sairy are the most amazing parents and it takes Florida and Dallas a while to trust them but they fall in love with Ruby Holler and eventually trust and love Tiller and Sairy. The meals/desserts named after events are fun (we've started doing that at our house too). I read this book and then, 2 years later, listened to the audio version and enjoyed it both times. This book tells the story of twins who were left behind at an "orphanage" run by a disreputable husband and wife who called them trouble. They think that perhaps they will always live in this horrible place where punishment is the norm. Until they move to Ruby Holler to live with an elderly couple. They learn that parenting can be good. no reviews | add a review

|
Sharon Creech, author of Newbery Medal winner Walk Two Moons and Newbery Honor book The Wanderer, is in fine form with her hilarious yet poignant novel about downtrodden siblings who refuse to be squished altogether. The perfectly happy ending is somewhat predictable, but readers who have fallen in love with each quirky character won't mind a bit. (Ages 8 to 13) --Emilie Coulter
