Book DescriptionSimon & Schuster Children's Publishing. Hardcover. 0689867654 We sell only brand new merchandise! . New. Book summarySixteen-year-old Ruby McQueen believes that others think of her as nothing more than a quiet, ordinary girl. She is, therefore, surprised and flattered when Travis Becker, the reckless son of one of the town's wealthiest residents, starts paying attention to her and telling her that she is fearless and powerful. Overwhelmed by Travis's attention, and caught up in her own wish to be the type of girl he thinks she is, Ruby ignores some very dangerous aspects of Travis's character, a situation which, ultimately, leads to pain and betrayal. Knowing that Ruby needs a distraction from Travis's influence, Ruby's mother, a divorced librarian who, thanks to her relationship with Ruby's father, knows a thing or two about heartbreak, involves Ruby in the book club she runs for senior citizens. Although she's sure she's going to be bored, Ruby soon finds herself deeply involved with the members of the club, particularly after she discovers that one of them might be the long-lost love of the famous author who's book they are reading. Will dealing with this true-life love story help both Ruby and her mom mend their own broken hearts?Media Reviews"Caletti has the gift of voice and tells her story with humor, insight, and compassion....Lovely." -- Kirkus "Calettie explores the conflicting, complicated impulses of the human heart with polish and penetration....This is a stylish and perceptive account of a young woman's developing perceptions of human frailty and human strength." -- Deborah Stevenson, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books First LineThe first thing I learned about Travis Becker was that he parked his motorcycle on the front lawn. Publisher NotesWhen her mother begins to worry about the amount of time sixteen-year-old Ruby is spending with her risk-taking boyfriend Travis, her mother makes her attend a weekly book club for seniors that has a bigger impact on Ruby than anyone would have ever imagined. SynopsesIn the summer of her junior year, sixteen-year-old Ruby McQueen and her mother, both nursing broken hearts, set out on a journey to reunite an elderly woman with her long-lost love and in the process learn many things about "the real ties that bind" people to one another.
