Ruby Holler: WINNER OF THE CARNEGIE MEDAL 2002 Creech, Sharon

**Ruby Holler by Sharon Creech - Carnegie Medal Winner 2002**

Meet Dallas and Florida, two troublemaking twins who've been bounced between foster homes faster than a ping-pong ball. When elderly couple Tiller and Sairy invite them to Ruby Holler for separate adventures, nobody expects it to work out. But sometimes the most unlikely families are the ones that stick.

This heartwarming children's novel explores themes of belonging, trust, and finding your tribe when you least expect it. Creech, who won the Newbery Medal for *Walk Two Moons*, crafts characters so real you'll want to invite them over for dinner. Perfect for middle-grade readers (ages 8-12) who love stories about resilient kids and the adults who believe in them.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows why Creech's Carnegie Medal win was so well-deserved - it's pure emotional gold without the sugar coating.
