Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything

You do not need to read the first book "Ruby Lu Brave and True" to understand this book. "Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything" tells the story of Ruby and her cousin Flying Duck whose family came from China to live with Ruby's family and start a life in America.

Ruby Lu empress of everything is a great alternative to the Junie B. Jones books.

What I liked best about Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything was how her thoughts and actions were as real as a 2nd grader could be. I could imagine Ruby Lu as a real girl walking around and getting into trouble.
