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
