Five stores for this creative and upbeat novel, with its thoroughly original story combining the best elements of traditional and contemporary children's literature. Author Julie Sampson introduces appealing and interesting characters of various ages and smoothly weaves art, culture and entomology. Did I mention woodworking and jam-making? Ruby and the Boss Cricket should be a must read on any Middle Grade shelf! I'm giving nothing away by warning you'll be fluttertanked if you don't read it!
