When Audrey breaks up with her boyfriend, she is done with him and his absorption in music and his band “The Do-Gooders,” right? WRONG! Because he writes a song about their break-up called “Audrey, Wait!” which rocks the charts and throws Audrey into the lime light of the paparazzi and the tabloids who want to make her into some kind of rock goddess, and Audrey never has a chance to catch her breath. Nobody told her that her life would change when her ex-boyfriend’s band made it big. But this book is now presenting Audrey herself: to give you her side of the story. Full of allusions to pop/rock culture, and both steadfast and fair-weather friends; this book has many twists in plot that has the reader wondering if Audrey will spin out of control or find a way to regain control of her life. It is a truly exciting read.

Ruby Lavender and Miss Eula are a pretty good team...for a nine-year old and her grandmother. This unlikely pair has a special, and at times hilarious, bond that is impossible to replace. Having recently lost her grandfather in an accident, Ruby has learned to be content with her memories, but for Miss Eula, it takes a little longer. So Miss Eula goes on vacation, leaving Halleluia, Mississippi to visit her new granddaughter in Hawaii, much to Ruby's dismay. Now who will help her liberate chickens? Or, more importantly, who will know what to say when Melba Jane, Ruby's biggest enemy, comes along? Ruby is an enchantingly stubborn character who likes to stick to her guns, but she grows and learns that sometimes a change of heart is all it takes to fix her problems. This book has healthy doses of humor, adventure, friendship and a twinge of sadness and mystery that create a story that is believably real and a wonderful read for individuals and reading groups alike.
