Ruby Red is the first book in a trilogy ( Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green to follow) and is already an international bestseller.

It fits right into the young adult category while also providing great crossover (adult) appeal. With a relatable heroine and humorous charm, RUBY RED tells a beautiful love story and takes its readers on an unexpected and exciting journey. He’s obnoxious, a know-it-all, and possibly the best-looking guy she’s seen in any century. Gwen is totally unprepared for time travel, not to mention all that comes with it: fancy clothes, archaic manners, a mysterious secret society, and Gideon, her time-traveling counterpart. So it comes as an unwelcome surprise when she starts taking sudden leaps into the past. The time-traveling gene that runs like a secret thread through the female half of the family is supposed to have skipped Gwen. She’s had a relatively normal life so far, in spite of her ancestors’ peculiar past. When we meet sixteen-year-old Gwen, she is living with her extended-and eccentric-family in a present day, exclusive London neighborhood. Filled with the perfect combination of romance, intrigue, time travel, and humor, it takes readers on a journey through the past, present, and an unusual family history. Ruby Red is the young adult novel debut for German author Kerstin Gier. The German Book Office New York presents its July 2011 Book of the Month: Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier, translated from the German by Anthea Bell and published on by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers.
