Books are available for preorder in the shop, or order your copy online at timbrebooks.com.

From the bestselling author of “The Invisible String” comes a timely and powerful new story. Ruby’s got a problem. At school and at home, everyone is so busy all the time, and no one seems to notice her at all. Ruby finds herself feeling kind of… lonely. It’s a big problem! But one day, while walking home alone after school, she decides to look at her problem from a new angle. She even gives it a name—Lonely—a seemingly small but significant decision that transforms her problem, and entire life, in the most surprising and extraordinary way.
