Ruby is spending a week at ninja school, where each "sapling" is to discover his or her "secret skill." Ruby fears that she'll never find hers, but her fellow students' homesickness gives her a crafty idea. (The book concludes with instructions for making two different stuffed-animal dragons.) Pilutti's skills are whiz-bang plotting and creating art as warm as it is witty.
