★ "The girls relate their spooky adventure and developing
friendship with humor, tenderness, and just the right amount of
creepiness. This is sure to delight girls, and there is just enough
suspense and mystery to provide an enjoyable read for boys as
well."--School Library Connection, starred review "Equal parts
preteen drama and ghost story, Ruby & Olivia will delight young
readers with its mild spookiness that remains grounded in the
everyday complexities of family, friendship, and finding
yourself."--Booklist "As they work to solve the mystery of Live Oak
House, Ruby and Olivia become fast friends while also encouraging
the best in each other. . . . This lightly spooky story
demonstrates the complexities of preteen girl
relationships."--Kirkus Reviews "This is a lightly creepy haunted
house mystery for fans of books like Neil Gaiman's Coraline or
Jonathan Stroud's The Screaming Staircase--though not as
scary."--School Library Journal
"Readers who enjoy stories where the ghosts turn out to be as real
as the friendships required to bust 'em are the audience for
this."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
