Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything
(Ruby Lu (Quality)) by Lenore Look
Ruby Lu, Reader Response
When Rubys cousin Flying Duck emigrates from China to live with her,
Ruby decides the best thing about Flying Duck is that she is a great new
friend. BUT the worst thing about Flying Duck is that now, no one speaks
English at home. Plus, theres strange food on the table every night and
only chopsticks to eat it with. And Flying Duck is deaf, and Ruby doesnt
know any Chinese Sign Language. As if that werent enough, this summer
proves to be even more perilous as Ruby faces the dangers of swimming
lessons, the joys of summer school, the difficulty of staying with a twelve-
step program, the miracle needed to keep a beautiful stray dog that
wanders into her life, and much more. Is it all too much for anyone -- even
the Empress of Everything -- to handle?
Personal Review: Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything (Ruby Lu
(Quality)) by Lenore Look

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. I
liked how Ruby Lu was very adventurous. Her swimming experiences and
her experiments on the playground slide really made me laugh. Her
relationship between her and her family that emigrated from China was a
good example of how difficult change can be even if it does involve your
own family and customs, but Ruby's love for her family helped her get
through all of the change. I wanted to keep reading to see what Ruby Lu
was going to do next. Ruby Lu remained me of my own daughter who just
finished third grade, so I could relate to Ruby Lu's relationship with her
best friend and all of the ups and downs that happen throughout a
relationship between two 2nd grade girls. To me Ruby Lu was a smart
loving little girl who wanted to grow up, but yet still had lots of fun just
being a kid.
