"Trouble Twins" Dallas and Florida have been shuffled between foster families and the orphanage all their lives. All they want is a loving place to call home, but they are mistrustful that one exists for the likes of them.

Tiller and Sairy are a sweet couple who are each restless for one more big adventure while their bodies are still spry enough to paddle a canoe or climb a mountain. Their own children have grownup and moved away, so they're each looking for someone to help them and keep them company on their last exciting journey.

And Ruby Holler is the beautiful, mysterious place that changes all of their lives forever. When Tiller and Sairy invite Dallas and Florida to stay with them and keep them company on their adventures, the magic of the Holler takes over, and the two kids begin to think that maybe, just maybe, the old folks aren't that bad.

Filled with humor, poignancy, cookies and treasure maps, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech's Ruby Holler is a delightful book about a special place where it's never to late to love, or be loved.

Sometimes the hardest lesson in life is learning how to love and allowing oneself to be loved.

This lovely journey of Dallas and Florida is exactly that lesson. The twins are orphans and have learned to mistrust everyone, young and old alike. It takes a caring couple needing to open their hearts as wide as they open their home to teach these two young kids how to love and be loved.

Very much recommended.

I wish the story would go on forever. Creech does it again. Walk two moons, Chasing Redbird and Ruby Holler. Books for any age listener, beautifully told by narrators that tell them with the kind of passion required for a young listener.

I listened to this book on repeat to fall asleep for a time when I was a kid, probably 8 or 9 years old. Now, I download my favorite old audiobooks from childhood here on audible, and sleep/shower to them. They’re very nostalgic and soothing, and I still love this book and performance just as much as I did 20 years ago ❤️

I love that you can picture it in your head and after you listen for a little while and then your mind transfers into a different world.

The performance of this book is so well done. Interesting voices and great expression. My six year old was very engaged in the story. Her only disappointment was the open-ended nature of the last chapter.

Fun and interesting for kids and adults

This was a really fantastic book.The author did a good job with the characters and their emotions, and the setting was really good to. I felt like I was in the story I could see everything happening.
