This was a really fun and cute book. My son enjoyed reading this book with me. I would definitely read more books from this author.

3.5 stars. Solid friendship story with lots of reading/book love. My favorite parts were focused on Ruby - her triumphs and her failures. She's a great character who owns and names her feelings even if she isn't proud of them.

This was a super cute book and fun characters! My kids and I really enjoyed it! Great cover and great fun!❤❤❤

Ruby Starr learns important lessons by a number of mistakes she makes throughout this book.
I enjoyed how the author creates a male character with baking talents.
It was hard to believe that a Grade 5 student has read Little Women. Unfortantely the Grade 5 students
in my school sadly haven't read it, or would choose to do so.
It just doesn't seem to fit that Ruby's book club is named The Unicorns and she is in Grade 5?

I am reviewing a copy of The Fantastic Library Rescue and Other Major Plot Twists through Sourcebooks Jabberwocky and Netgalley:


Ruby Starr is a fifth grader who loves to read in fact she started a book club that she calls The Unicorn Book Club. She imagines herself being a super hero called Book Girl.


When her teacher gives an assignment to write a poem, Ruby is excited. Ruby feels bad though because budget cuts have prevented the library from ordering new books, or replacing the ones that have been lost or damaged. Because of this they may loose their book club which breaks Ruby's Heart.


Ruby and her friends decide to do something about the libraries lack of funds by setting up a fund raiser so the Library can get new books.


Can fifth graders make a difference and help to save the Library? Find out in The Fantastic Library Rescue and Other Major Plot Twists five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

My 8 year old daughter really enjoyed this book, just as much as the first Ruby Starr book. She was able to relate to the main character and felt the problems she encountered were realistic and fun to imagine. I'd say this is best for ages 7-9 or 10. Excited for more from this series and this author! Thank you to Sourcebooks Jabberwocky for this ARC!

Bibliophiles (you know who you are) will warm up and relate to the second Ruby Starr book. There are a few things going on in Ruby’s life; luckily the story is written well enough to keep things straight and entertaining.

I received this e-book in exchange for my honest review from NetGalley.

I enjoyed this book! I think it might have been a little better, if I were able to read book 1 first, but I wasn't able to find a copy. I'm not sure if there were supposed to be little illustrations (like in other books with a similar description), but illustrations would have made this book more appealing to the audience. Overall, the storyline was good and is one that children will enjoy.
