Book description
Ruby's teacher asks Ruby and Yasmin to look after a new girl at
school. Her name is Lauren, and it is not long before she manages to
upset the uneasy equilibrium between the two best friends. Ruby
resents the way Yasmin often waltzes off, leaving her to entertain the
extremely shy Lauren.
Meanwhile, back home Ruby is under pressure to accept Tiffany as
brother Joe's girlfriend, not least because Holly seems to have got
together with another boy. However, St Valentine's promises some fun
events and an opportunity for a little Valentine card devilment to
relieve Ruby from all this relationship stress and get back at Yasmin.
Of course, things do not go exactly according to plan and Ruby soon
finds herself in rather hot water . . .
Sue's writing career started with various assignments for
magazines and newspapers, and her first radio work, Big and
Little, which won a Sony Award for Best Children's Programme.

Path, The Wordsmiths at Gorsemere, and The Sit-Crom.
Up the Garden Path was adapted by Sue for television and
three series were produced . It started off Sue's first novel,
followed soon after by a sequel, Love's Labours.
Sue's children's books include Big and Little, China
Lee, Me Jane, Big Trouble and Mr Loopy and Mrs
Snoopy. Come Back Grandma was shortlisted for the Smarties
