Dallas and Florida also known as the "trouble twins" are raised by the putrid Trepids, who run an orphanage home for children who have been orphaned. The Trepids are just after wealth, and do not truly care about the children of the orphanage. After being rejected by the Burgertons, Dreeps, and numerous other families, Florida and Dallas might have stumbled upon someone who might keep them? The twins just might have another chance after being invited on an expedition with a fun, kid-loving couple by the names of Tiller and Sairy. Tiller and Sairy know much about how to deal with children from experience, and are ready for someone to accompany them on their journey to places where many have not been. "Trouble Twins" did not know what a true home was like and are astonished to their heart's content.

The book Ruby Holler is a book for young adults who can relate to the feeling of longingness for one's true home. It brings about the essence of having a true stable family. This book shows how children should be brought up with a true name, and should have the status just like everyone else. From reading this book you feel and experience the world outside, and pity those who receive injustice in the society. You find out that there are people who are there for you daily, and those who just put up a good show. If I were to rate this book on a scale from one to ten, I would rate this book over a ten, because it just touched my heart. This book truly spoke to me, even though I never experienced what Dallas and Florida experienced. We should be thankful to God for all we have, and we should cherish whatever that specific thing is as if it were to never come back again into our lives again.
