This book is about a girl named Ruby. Ruby has three chickens: Ivy, Bemmie, and Bess. Ruby has a grandma named Miss Eula. Miss Eula went to Hawaii. Ruby and Miss Eula write letters to each other.
There's a girl named Melba Jane that Ruby hates. Melba Jane does something very bad in the story. . .
The unique and special parts of the book are the letters. I loved the book because it is fun to read. My favorite part was when Rosebud (the baby chick) went to the school house because it was funny.
I think everybody would like this book because it's like real life.
