Ruby Red By: Kerstin Gier

I just started reading this book so I'll just be doing a summary of what I've already read. So the book I'm reading is called Ruby Red it is a fictional story about a girl named Gwen. Gwen comes from a family who loves secrets and one that has this thing called the time travel gene. Long ago Sir Isaac Newton (the gravity guy) calculated the birth of the next person to inherit the gene. But now there is a big problem because both Gwen and her cousin were born on the same day, the day calculated by Newton. Everyone believes it is beautiful, stuck-up Charlotte who is the gene inheritor but only because Gwen's mom faked the day of Gwen's birth. Both Charlotte and Gwen are now sixteen and their whole lives they have been prepared for Charlotte's first transportation but what happens when Charlotte stays in her time and Gwen doesn't. I'll tell you what, all hell breaks loose. The family is now torn apart and no one quit believes that Gwen has already transported three times. Until they see it for them selfs.

Note and Notice: Again and Again
Gwen has no idea what is going on because she's never been told about the specifics about the gene. Gwen is extremely inexperienced and has already traveled three times. In the story there these little passages from a book called The Annals Of The Guardians this book is basically a history book for both past and present time travelers. The weird thing is that passages from the past say that Gwen was born on October 10 1994 but its the 21 century and Gwen is only 16. There is also the thing will Gwen's mom faking the birth of Gwen which is a subject that no one really knows about. These two things keep coming up in the story and I believe its going to turn into something way bigger than everyone else thinks it to be. In the text it says, " Female Line Of Descent: Gwyneth Shepherd Ruby, birth 1994" This quote just confuses me but it also tells me that there is something way bigger going on than just Gwen's ability to time travel.
