Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

The rich ruby cover of the novel, Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier, is enticing enough for any reader to want to pick it up.  The story is what will keep the reader involved.  I read the premise of the book, Gweneth inherited the gene to time travel instead of her stuck up cousin.  Her cousin had been prepared to be the female half of the time traveling duo, not Gweneth.  But things change when she starts having dizzy spells and time traveling.  She has to get the cliff notes version that her cousin has had 16 years to learn and her traveling companion is a stuck up hottie named Gideon.  There mission is to close the circle, but someone or something is trying to stop them.  Find out what happens in this first book in the trilogy.

I LOVED it!  Seriously, I read it in a day.  I would give it an omelet rating and it is totally appropriate for a middle schooler.  There was paranormal, intrigue, romance, adventure all rolled into one.  Gweneth is a fun, three-dimensional main character.  I highly recommend Ruby Red and am jonesing for the sequel out in October 2012
