End of the Alphabet by Beale, Fleur

ISBN: 9781869790707 PUBLISHER: Random House New Zealand Ltd FORMAT: Paperback

PUBLICATION DATE: 2009

DESCRIPTION: Ruby Yarrow is a 14 year old who lives in a busy, loving, chaotic family with her mum, stepdad, brother and two little stepbrothers. Ruby feels a bit like a doormat - she has to help out in the family a lot while her brother doesn't. He wins lots of prizes at school and she has a learning difficulty and needs a reader/writer to help her in exams. But she's bright, vibrant and a really neat character. To add to this, her surname Yarrow is at the end of the alphabet and when the roll gets called out she's always at the end and she hates it. Not that she's a misery bag at all. She has great friends and loves clothes, fashion magazines and sewing and she's got a real knack for it. She's very keen to go on the school trip to Brazil and so gets a job to earn the money to go - works in a supermarket for an old grump, learns a bit of Portuguese, meets exchange students, doesn't get to go on the trip but stands up to her parents (gets some backbone) and starts to see herself in a much better light. There's even a bit of romance thrown in. It's about having a dream and aiming for it.
