Illustrated by
Vanessa Brantley Newton.
Ten-year-old Ruby Goldberg sets her sights on finally winning the gold medal at her school science fair, which has gone to her rival, Dominic, two years running. She eventually joins ideas with Dominic and learns the value of teamwork. Ruby's growing pains feel consistently authentic. Newton's black-and-white illustrations capture the playful energy of the narrative.
