The Secret book Club (2013)
“I’ll get it!” cried Ruby the moment the telephone began to ring. She leaped to her feet and pounced on the phone, causing Daisy Dear to let out a bark of alarm, the hackles rising on her back.
“Ruby, calm down,” said Flora. “Look what you made Daisy do.”
“The phone made her do that,” replied Ruby.
“It did not. She doesn’t bark every time the phone rings.”
Ruby turned her back on Flora. “Hello?” she said into the receiver.
Flora rolled her eyes and tried to remember if, when ...she was ten, a ringing telephone had inspired such commotion.
“Really?” Ruby was saying. “Oh, goody! We’ll be right there. Thanks, Min. Bye!” Ruby clicked off the phone and turned to her sister. “They’re here! I mean, they’re at the store. Our next book club packages! I told Min we’d go get them.”
