Winston & Ruby Books

Winston’s familiar Ruby, a small black cat, avoids dogs whenever possible. So, when Winston sees her talking quietly with a toy poodle-Chihuahua mix, he wants to know why. Ruby, usually so vocal, says nothing. Her silence, that dog, and a storm in the Oregon Coast community of Seavy Village all combine into one of the most memorable days of Winston’s life. “Rusch is a great storyteller.” — RT Book Reviews
