In this sequel to Ruby Lu, Brave and True, feisty, Asian-American Ruby Lu jumps from one hilarious episode to another with her cousin, Flying Duck who has just emigrated from China to live with her. Children will relate to her thoughts and feelings about notes (to parents) pinned to her shirt; and her absolutely hilarious reaction to the Basic Lifesaving video she manages to check out from the library (because her dad doesn’t check her selections like her mom does).
Included at the end is, “Ruby’s Amazing Glossary and Guide to Important Words.” Another fun feature is the flip book of Chinese (?) sign language on the bottom of each page.
Interest level: Grades 1-3

Ruby Lu has a unique outlook on life that lands her in the principal's office on occassion but leads to one hilarious event after another. I especially like the matter of a fact inclusion of Flying Duck, a cousin who has recently immigrated to the United States and who is also deaf. Other characters adjust to include her by learning Chinese sign language among other things.
