Critics Review
I loved this addition to the 11 Ruby Road series that brought 1950 to life and captures what it means to accept people and how this has occurred over time. It also shows that being silent never works, and whilst there are people who will never listen, surrounding yourself with those who will listen can be effective, especially when more voices grow to support inclusion and diversity. * The Book Muse *
11: Ruby Road: 1950 is a welcome addition to a fantastic series and an absolute pleasure to read. Highly recommended for school and library discussions, boys and girls alike will enjoy this story, particularly readers who are fans of Katrina Nannestad, Sofie Laguna or Gabrielle Wang’s historical works. – Brenton Cullen * Magpie Magazine *
