Ruby's Journey

Ruby Nelson has always been the girl with too many experiments bubbling on her desk and not enough patience to keep her blankets from catching fire.

And once the two arrive, they quickly discover that their paths are bound to two others: Gemma, a luminous, angelic figure with secrets of her own, and Cyrus, a quiet boy with gray hair and a past no one will speak about.
