Love, Ruby Lavender by Debbie Wiles
Ruby is a carefree, independent girl who has a very special relationship with her grandma. Ruby can’t imagine her life without her grandma, but the birth of a new grandbaby in Hawaii takes Miss Eula away. Ruby must learn to navigate life and friendship without her grandma as she tries to come to terms with the car accident that killed her dad and a classmate’s dad. Sound too heavy? There is also some chicken stealing! This is a great book and a lot of the format is letters between Ruby and her grandma, so it’s a pretty quick read.
