This isn't really a summary. It's more of a life lesson that can be learned from from the two main characters.

I read this to my 3rd and 4th grade class. In the story, two young girls, Melba and Ruby, are dealing with death. Melba has lost her father and Ruby has lost her grandfather. Melba can talk about the accident that led to her father's death, though with anger. She can even ride by the site where it happened. Ruby doesn't like to talk about the accident and takes the long way into town so she doesn't have to go by the site of the accident. I spoke to my students about grief and that, for Ruby, not seeing the accident site was a form of denial or at least a way to postpone the pain. We talked about how the children were doing what was best for them and that neither way was right or wrong. We also talked about how Ruby was postponing her pain to a time when she would have the tools and ability to feel it. Melba apparently could handle the pain and was willing to feel it. Ruby's pain was waiting for her "on a shelf", I told them. And when she was ready and decided to visit that site, all the pain would be waiting for her, but she would show up with tools to handle it now. Many students related to the notion of postponing pain. One student had a younger brother who was still born. She said her mother had a box of his belongings and pictures of him in a drawer and that she was told whenever she was ready, she could look at them. She hasn't taken her mom up on the offer yet, but says when she's ready she will ask her mom to see it.

Ruby reminds me of the spirit of Junie B. Jones. She has great relationships with her family. She also learns a huge lesson in forgiveness!
I loved the book and I couldn't stop reading it I read it in 2 days the only reason I read it was for a book challenge
I gave this to a fifth grade girl, who loved it. I also use this book in a college middle childhood reading class.
I love this book! It is a heartwarming and well written book. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates young teen books. It's a good book for teaching ethics and values...
As I've been known to repeat on occasion, a really good book is good for every age reader, and this is one. I recommend this for a read-aloud for families to enjoy together, and for classrooms, as well. I won't summarize, because you can read the summary anywhere, but I must tell you I was so deeply touched by this book, I had to run right out the next day to find someone to loan it to. Ms. Wiles writes in such a unique and uniquely Southern voice, but about universal truths appealing to everyone. I had this cast as a movie before I was into the second chapter, so be sure to call me, Ms. Wiles, for casting tips!
LOVE, RUBY LAVENDER BY DEBORAH WILES

Ruby is a wonderful little girl. I had a parent/child book group with some 3rd grade students and there was not a parent who did not love this story. Ruby has been the only grandchild of a loving grandmother up until a new baby cousin is born in Hawaii and gram feels that she must go and welcome this new baby into the family....the story is full of angst and laughter as Ruby copes with a summer without gram....a story that you will never forget and will make you want to read Wiles' next book Each Little Bird that Sings! Betty Collins
This was a wonderful book that my Grandaughter and I enjoyed reading together . My Grandaughter doesn't particularly like to read . However, she couldn't put the book down . She read it with her mother and then insisted that she and I read it together as well . Wonderful story line and great time as well as memories that it brought her and I . ABSOLUTLEY a good read !
