The Center of Everything by Linda Urban stars Ruby Pepperdine who is elected anomously by the librarian to be the essay girl. This creates some big problems.
This is a good book. The characters do a great job fitting into the story and the setting is very situation. The plot sometimes switches making it difficult for readers to follow. However the book does have a great hook making readers want to know what will happen and is interesting enough to keep readers interested although it is not a super fast read and it has a fantastic ending.
Appropriateness: This book has no adult content and no romance. It would be enjoyed by 5-7th graders.
