| Behind the scenes at the museum |
| Atkinson, Kate |
| By far and away one of the best books I have ever read!! It's important to pay attention though, because the story spans four generations, and five if you count ruby's kids, and it's easy to get mixed up. But be on the lookout for a touching twist. Atkinson weaves in clues throughout the book, one to read again and again! |
