Ruby's mum is having a baby, but why does she need one of those when she's already got a Ruby? To make matters worse, her best friend Sarah has just found another, BETTER friend. It seems like everyone is abandoning her. But when Ruby meets the mysterious Magda, who gives her a very special gift that might, just MIGHT even be a bit magical, everything begins to change."--Provided by publisher Notes 2009 CBCA Shortlist Audience For children Notes Children's Book Council of Australia Shortlisted Book, 2009 Subject Readers (Primary) Sibling rivalry -- Juvenile fiction.
