        Ruby's Secret

        What if you could move objects by willpower?

        by Vuokko Hurme

        Ruby’s family has a secret: they have wonderful powers of colour. The Hues are able to control the colours of their own possessions, and they can handle them and move them about by willpower. Ruby’s colour is red and her big sister Skye’s is blue, while their little brother Forrest is still looking for his colour and practising hard.   When the Hues, hiding their secret skills, move into the Gertrude Rinne condominium, something changes: Ruby no longer wants to be an eternal outsider. She wants to play in the yard with the other children. So she has to make an impression on her new friends–at all costs.   On top of all this, Ruby’s head is turned by a charming but mischievous girl named Liia. And what is the strange greyness that threatens not just the Hues but everyone else as well?   Ruby’s Secret is the first book of four about the Hues family. Reetta Niemensivu’s expressive line drawing illustrations complete the text with red finishing touches.
