Title: The Center of Everything
Author: Linda Urban
Summary: Ruby Pepperdine has just recently gone through the loss of her grandmother, Gigi. However, she has some regrets about her last day with Gigi, and she continues to wish in hopes of setting things right again.
On the day of her town's festival, she believes she is going to get her wish due to a town legend involving donuts, which the town is also famous for. At first, she doesn't think she got anything, but then she realizes that maybe her wish really was answered.
Comments: I really liked this book. It was short and powerful. Some of the flashbacks to Gigi may be scary or sad for younger children, so I'm going to suggest this as a 10+ book. It is short, and is mainly a book that covers one day and fills in the rest of the book with flashbacks, which I thought was interesting approach. I also liked the perspective it was written in, with the author narrating the whole time, instead of Ruby.
