Ruby Ali's Mission Break Up: A Bloomsbury Reader Reviews

I loved this book for its humour but also its honesty about Ruby's feelings of abandonment and loneliness at living without her sister. -- Kristen Hopwood * Reading Zone *
The heart-warming story ... is unique in that the story is about an Asian protagonist in foster care, which is not often seen in popular culture. That originality makes this one of the best children's books to be released this year and introduces young readers to a new kind of lead character, who is not only engaging but also very relatable. -- Mita Mistry * Eastern Eye *
The story explores challenging themes such as grief, being in foster care, domestic violence and aggression in an accessible and subtle way. -- A.M. Dassu * @a_reflective *
Thoroughly enjoyed this story by @sufiyaahmed. I wanted to read one of her books before she visits our academy on Wednesday and this was only a short one (just one hour to read). But wow! She packs a lot of emotion into that story. If you like Jacqueline Wilson style stories, this is for you. The splitting up of Muslim sisters in long-term foster care. Delicately yet emotively told. Recommended ?? -- Rachel Louise Coverdale, Children's author * @rachellouisecoverdale *
