Outside reading

For this quarter of outside reading I'm reading a book by Sarah Dessen called "Lock and Key." The first chapter of Lock and Key is about Ruby, who is the main charcter and her Mom. Ruby's Mom has a lot of issues and is not very responsible. She doesn't pay their rent on time, sometimes she doesn't come home at night, and she doesn't always pay the bills. Ruby is always worried and scared. Social Services finds out about Ruby's living situation and they take her to live with her sister that she hasn't seen for about ten years. Ruby's sister is married to a successful business man who has a lot of money, but Ruby isnt used to living the way they live. Ruby has to learn how to adapt to her new life, school and friends and to learn how to just be a kid again. She also has to learn how to have a relationship with her sister.
