11 Ruby Road: 1900
Author(s): Charlotte Barkla
Perfect period fiction for middle-grade girls - for fans of the Our Australian Girl series
It is 1900 and Dorothy and her family have just moved to a new house at 11 Ruby Road. Ruby Road is a busy street, bustling with activity - families and children, noisy carts and animals. The house is close enough to see the city and very different from the rural life Dorothy has known. Best of all it has a secret writing room that only she knows about!
Dorothy has big plans for her new neighbourhood - she wants to put on a play and write it herself! But there are other reasons for her family's move to the city and, as Dorothy starts to learn about her new house, she discovers more about the period of time she's growing up in.

11 Ruby Road 1900 by Charlotte Barkla
“I thought this book was incredible because I loved learning how the teachers, houses and parents were like back then. I also liked reading this book because it had lots of adventures and problems and I like books like that. This book was exciting but it had words that me, as a 10 year old, didn’t understand because they were words from the past, although at the back of the book in the historical notes, it explains it. I think this book should be for ages 9+ and in Senior Fiction”. Book review by Luella - Year 5
