Sixteen-year-old Londoner Gwyneth Shepherd comes from a family of time travelers. The gene was supposed to have skipped Gwen, but sneaks up on her unexpectedly in the middle of class one day and hurls her way back to the 18th century, where she meets an insufferable-turns-lovable time-traveling boy named Gideon., "Humorous, romantic and suspenseful, the plot is fast-paced and impossible to put down . . . . The final romantic cliffhanger will leave you thirsty for the next book in this ''jewel'' of a series." -- Justine magazine "Sixteen-year-old Londoner Gwyneth Shepherd comes from a family of time travelers.

Both will leave readers anticipating the publication of the next installment, ''Sapphire Blue.''" -- The New York Times Book Review "What makes this such a standout is the intriguingly drawn cast, stars and supporting players both, beginning with Gwen, whose key feature is her utter normality... Adventure, humor, and mystery all have satisfying roles here." -- Starred, Booklist "The characters in Kerstin Gier''s stellar story come fully to life, and veteran translator Anthea Bell (who translated Cornelia Funke''s Inkheart books) preserves the book''s abundant humor . . . .

It''s a fun, engaging read that will be an easy sell for teens wanting to time travel with a delightful narrator." -- School Library Journal "The first in a trilogy, Ruby Red offers romance, adventure, small details of various eras, and the complications that families can bring.
