Gilmore Girls meets The Wizard of Oz in this touching, funny novel from the author of The Melting of Maggie Bean.

Ruby Lee's happy, cozy life is about to change dramatically. Raised in rural Kansas, she's never downloaded an iTune, heard of Facebook, or seen a video on YouTube. And in her free time, she hangs out with her best bud-her mum, Francine. But all of this changes when Ruby's mother uproots the family and moves them to Florida to care for her grandmother, Nana Dottie. Ruby's new school is ten times the size of her old one, teachers don't know her name and, worst of all, the kids are completely different. She's definitely not in Kansas anymore! To make matters worse, her mom and grandma are locked in a bitter, silent feud, and Ruby's caught somewhere in the middle. What does Nana Dottie have against her mom, anyway? Will their 15-year feud ever end, or will Ruby have to eventually choose between her mom and her grandmother-and a new life that she never asked for, but that might not be so bad?
