Ruby and the country cousins

Our Australian Girl - Ruby #2

by Penny Matthews, Lucia Masciullo (Illustrator)

It's 1931, and Ruby's family has lost everything in the Great Depression. And so, leaving behind her dad, her school friends and everything she knows, Ruby must move to Kettle Farm to stay with her cousins. Everything about life in the country is new and strange, and Ruby has never felt like such an outsider. Thankfully she has her much-loved dog, Baxter, for company – until he gets up to mischief, and everything goes horribly wrong...

Join Ruby on her adventure in the second of four exciting stories about a happy-go-lucky girl in a time of great change.

Ruby's trying to settle into country life at her cousin May's, but she sure sticks out like a sore thumb at school and her uncle is a real meanie. The grumpy old great aunt turns out to be pretty awesome though :D
