Waiting on Wednesday: The One and Only Ruby by Katherine Applegate

The One and Only Ruby by Katherine Applegate. Illustrated by Patricia Castelao. 320 p. HarperCollins Publishers, May 2, 2023. 9780063080089.

Waiting on Wednesday features The One and Only Ruby by Katherine Applegate. Here's the publisher synopsis: Ruby’s story picks up a few months after the events of The One and Only Bob. Now living in a wildlife sanctuary, Ruby’s caretaker from the elephant orphanage in Africa where she grew up is visiting. Seeing him again brings back a flood of memories both happy and sad of her life before the circus, and she recounts the time she spent in the African savannah to Ivan and Bob.

In the timeless way that only Katherine Applegate could craft, this highly anticipated novel in verse is the perfect mix of heartfelt and humorous, poignant and sweet. Artist Patricia Castelao returns to the world of Ivan and his friends with gorgeous black-and-white interior illustrations to complete the story.
