Ruthie's Dusty Path to Courage

Damude, Leslie Ruth


Ruthie lives on a prairie farm where the sky hasn’t rained in years. The wind blows dust all around them, and the crops are long gone. It’s the 1930s, deep in the Dust Bowl, and Ruthie’s family is struggling to hang on. Her father calls it a battle—against dust storms, drought, and even grasshoppers. He says they’re fighting with courage and hope. But Ruthie doesn’t feel very brave. It doesn’t help that her big brother, Roy, loves to scare her with creepy critters and spooky stories. Or that school is tough, with mean kids like Alice, embarrassing clothes, and games that Ruthie always seems to mess up. And then there are the strange dreams—the howls in the night, the troublemakers down the road, and a mysterious stranger who may not be safe. At least she has her dog, Rover. He listens when no one else does, and his wagging tail always makes things feel a little better. But when Rover’s safety is suddenly at risk, Ruthie’s world starts to unravel. And the biggest fear of all? That the drought might force them off their land forever.

Street Belongs to Us, The

Pendleton Jiménez, Karleen, 1971-


A sweet middle-grade chapter book about two best friends who transform their torn-up street into a world where imaginations can run wild. In 1984 Los Angeles, Alex is a tomboy who would rather wear her hair short and her older brother's hand-me-downs, and Wolf is a troubled kid who's been wearing the same soldier's uniform ever since his mom died. They set their worries aside when their street is torn up by construction machines and transformed into a muddy wonderland with endless possibilities. To pass the hot summer days, the two best friends seize the opportunity to launch a gleeful street war against the rival neighbourhood kids. But when Alex and Wolf make their headquarters inside a deep trench, Alex's grandmother warns them that some buried things want to be found and some want to stay hidden. Although she has the wisdom of someone who has survived the Mexican Revolution, the Spanish Flu, and immigration to a new country, the kids ignore her warning, unearthing more than they bargained for. The exuberant and expressive black-and-white line drawings by Gabriela Godoy perfectly capture the summers of youth, when anything feels possible and an adventure is always around the corner. Bursting with life and feeling, both the people and the land come alive in a tale interwoven with Mexican-American identity, experience, and history. The Street Belongs to Us is a story of family, friendship, and unconditional acceptance, even when it breaks your heart.
