Ruby Ali’s eighteen-year-old sister Alisha has left the care centre where they live, and Ruby is being sent to live with a new foster family. If she can sabotage life at her new home, she’ll get to go and live with her sister again, right? But mission break up doesn’t go exactly according to plan…

This funny, heart-warming story is one of the Bloomsbury Readers series, written by award-winning authors to get children reading independently in Key Stage 2.

Reviews

The heartwarming story, accompanied by eye-catching black and white illustrations by Parwinder Singh, is unique in that the story is about an Asian protagonist in foster care, which is not often seen in popular culture. That originality makes this one of the best children's books to be released this year and introduces young readers to a new kind of lead character, who is not only engaging but also very relatable.
