Summary: Twinship Connection
Comment: Ruby Holler is an adventurous book about a set of orphan twins who are forced to grow up feeling unloved and unwanted but become strong through the connection they have toward each other. The most enjoyable part about this book is the way that the author Sharon Creech develops the characters Dallas and Florida. She really emphasizes the bond between twins and the connection that they feel toward one another. In the orphanage they have separate rooms and yet find a way to stay close. "Next door, Dallas heard Florida whimpering. He crept to his closet and lifted the cardboard flap covering a hole in the wall. Florida? What's the matter?" She gives a real sense of the attachment the twins feel to one another. The twins know and care about each other so much that they can, at times, predict what the other one is thinking, feeling, and even trouble. "We had better find a town pretty soon," Dallas said. He didn't want to tell Sairy that the awful feeling he'd had about Florida being in trouble was getting stronger." The author gives the reader a very true sense of how strongly twins are connected. There is a real bond there that many people don't understand but I think the author has a gift for portraying the true, yet often incomprehensible, reality of that connection.
I also believe that the author develops Dallas and Florida in a way that would allow any reader to find these characters fun, mischievous, and adventurous. You are joining two children on a quest to find themselves as well as their place in this crazy world.

Summary: Not Bad!!
Comment: This was a great book. Not my fave Sharon Creech book, but quite good all the same. It is about twins Dallas and Florida. They are nicknamed the trouble twins. They have been booted from tons of foster homes. The Home they live in now is not a good one.
But then daydreaming Dallas and forceful, crabby Florida get sent to yet another foster home. They try not to get too close to the old couple, but they realize that they like living there in Ruby Holler.
Through trips with the couple, the twins reach into their hearts and spill the feelings that have been welling up inside them.
Not a bad book. I've read better, but still very good.

Summary: Ruby Holler
Comment: Ruby Holler is a very adventurous book by Sharon Creech and is about two orphins, Dallas and Florida, brother and sister and their lives at Ruby Holler. I heard about this book from freinds, but what really made me read it is how much Dallas and Florida care for each other like at the Boxton Creek home for Orphins were Dallas was really sick with a fever, Floria was there day and night. So if you're a young reader and like sad, yet funny, books I recommend Ruby Holler for you.
