Ruby’s Wish

By Rebecca Ballenger | Published: November 1, 2009

ruby'swishRuby is unlike most little girls in old China. Instead of aspiring to get married, Ruby is determined to attend university when she grows up, just like the boys in her family. Based upon the inspirational story of the author’s grandmother and accompanied by richly detailed illustrations, Ruby’s Wish is an engaging portrait of a young girl who strives for more and a family who rewards her hard work and courage.

    What genre is Ruby’s wish? Biography? Realistic fiction (no, because it is a true story). Thanks!
