Description
Dorothy and her family have moved to the city, and life is very different from the rural one she has known. Ruby Road is bustling — full of families and children, horse-drawn carts, and even a mysterious dog. Best of all, her new home has a secret writing room that only she knows about.
There are many reasons for her family’s move, but Dorothy has her own plans. She has to settle into a new school, make new friends, and find an ingenious way to help the suffragists in their fight for women's right to vote! Perhaps her secret writing room holds the answer.
Join Dorothy and the inhabitants of 11 Ruby Road: 1900, as Federation is dawning and a new century begins.
