Bookroo's summary

Ruby's clumsy antics often lead to chaos, but when an invitation arrives for tea with the Queen, she must quickly learn to be on her best behavior. As Ruby navigates the challenges of etiquette, will she be ready in time for her royal encounter? Join Ruby on her heartwarming journey of self-discovery, where she learns that being herself is the most important rule of all. Will her efforts to be ladylike pay off, or will her true self shine through in the end?

From the publisher

That Ruby! Wherever she goes, table cloths accidentally pull dishes to the floor, flowers get trampled and spaghetti somehow end up in her hair. You can’t take Ruby anywhere! One sunny morning, the postman brings Ruby an amazing invitation to have tea with – the Queen! Ruby had better polish her manners and quickly. Will Ruby really be ready in time? Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and Robin Preiss Glasser know a thing or two about the importance of manners and poise and being ladylike. In Tea For Ruby, they have created the irrepressible Ruby, whose antics and foibles with touch readers’ hearts as she tries her very best to do things correctly. In the end, she knows she is loved for who she is, and that she will always be a princess, royal or not!
