Ruby Lu Brave and True, by Lenore Look and Anne Wilsdorf
Ruby Lu is a wonderful little girl who with all her detail truly brought me back to when I was 8 or 9. I love the part of when she gets to ride the bus down to Chinatown with her GungGung and PohPoh. However, not everything is fun and games. She had some tough times too, which made the book a little more realistic. While this book might not really interest older tweens, 9 and 10 year old girls will probably always enjoy it. Pretty much anyone can appreciate this fun glimpse into the life of an Asian-American girl. The glossary of Chinese (Cantonese/Taishanese) terms that Ruby and her family uses is pretty helpful!
