Eleven-year-old Ruby Danes has a real best friend for the first time ever, but agonizes over whether or not to tell her a secret she has never shared with anyone--that her mother has been in prison since Ruby was five--and over whether to express her anger to her mother.

All in all, a very good book. Some aspects hit too close to home, such as having a mother in jail/prison. The characters feelings and the way she processed information was pretty spot on to how some children react in these situations. I would have given it 5 stars if only the book had been a longer. I would have enjoyed seeing certain situations play out a little longer.
