The Center of Everything

The Center of Everything 
by Linda Urban

As Ruby Pepperdine anxiously awaits to present her winning essay at her town's annual Bunting Day parade, she continues to think back to recent events leading up to the day, including the death of her beloved grandmother and a fight with her best friend.   Ruby desperately hopes that a birthday wish made on the statue of Captain Bunting will finally come true on this day.    Will her birthday wish come true and fix everything?

Full of heartwarming, yet sometimes sad, moments, this touching story alternates between present day and Ruby's flashbacks of recent events.   Many readers will be able to identify with the challenges that twelve-year-old Ruby deals with throughout the story.
