Remarkably Ruby (Emmie & Friends)

Seventh grader Ruby doesn’t have the best social skills, so no one knows her passion is writing poetry. Fortunately, Ruby’s supportive English teacher encourages her to join a poetry club. This may be a chance for Ruby to make some new friends and share her passion with others. Meanwhile, Mia is popular, organized, and running for class president. Unlike Ruby, Mia has it all. Or does she? Both girls used to be friends, but they eventually grew apart. Can these two opposites redeem themselves, or will they no longer have anything in common?

This book is way different from the other books, and it may be the best one in the series so far! I like that the author introduced so many new characters. It makes me wonder who will be in Libenson’s next book. I was also very shocked by the ending of the book. Recommended for graphic novel lovers, especially those who like contemporary middle-grade stories.
