Product Description
Ruby is determined to get her moody older brother Joe to fall for wonderful Holly. Despite her best efforts to engineer a number of promising situations for them, a series of unexpected setbacks and disasters thwart her efforts - some due to Joe's personality, some due to Holly's, some due to the sheer cussedness of the universe. At least Ruby can be assured of her best friend Yasmin's loyalty and devotion, especially now they've formed their own secret society. Or can she? Relationships! Why bother? With the knowledge that only a couple of full-blooded blazing rows with her best friend and brother can be in store, Ruby is tempted to retire to her tree house and live with her monkeys for the rest of her life.
