Praise for the treasure map of boys
"Fans will continue to root for the authentic if self-centered
narrator as she relates both the hilarious and painful moments of
her life....They will appreciate her honest insights about the good
and bad in everyone."--Publishers Weekly Lots of laugh-out-loud
moments. Ruby is smart, confused, and often foolish when it comes
to love; few characters ring this true. As Ruby would say: complete
and utter deliciousness."--Booklist
"Ruby is funny--very funny. She expresses herself in a manner both
self-depricating and precocious, with a quirky use of language and
an appreciation for the absurd that is thoroughly endearing. A
definite purchase."--School Library Journal "Ruby's voice is
solidly witty with that edge of hysteria characteristic of today's
teen girl narrators. If readers are already interested in her
story, this is a must, but even those who've never met her will
find this an enjoyable read."--The Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books A Junior Library Guild Selection An ALA Best Book
for Young Adults
