The Ruby Kingdom
Patricia Bow
Mountains, travel, adventure ― Amelia Hammer wants it all. Instead, her globe-trotting parents have dumped her in tiny, boring Dunstone, Ontario, in the middle of winter with her grandmother and her geeky cousin Simon. Simon isn't having much fun either, saddled with a sulky stranger in black leather and with neon hair.And he has to be nice to her. But life in safe little Dunstone turns dangerously exciting when Mara comes to town. Amelia is enchanted by this tall, proud, fearless girl, but Simon worries that Mara might be mixed up in something weird. He’s right. Mara is not what she seems, and neither is the shape-shifting assassin who’s tracking her. When the cousins take Mara's side in a war for an alien world, Amelia has to spread her wings ― literally ― and Simon must find out how far he will go to save a cousin who has become a friend.

Profile Picture
Amelia Hammer was pretty excited to find out her parents were headed to Peru. Instead of letting her join them, though, they ship Amelia off to relatives in a boring town in Ontario. Another girl new to town, though, Mara, brings some excitement to the small town. She's being tracked by a shape-shifting assasin. And Mara herself is not exactly like the rest of the people in town.
