Author: Van Draanen, Wendelin

Ruby’s Read

            Dave went to a remote area called “Gypsy Town” to pick up his last package of the day. As he rode his bike through a maze of twists and turns for searching the address he encountered chickens and goats…lots of goats with pointy horns. After he found this delivery pick-up address, he was surprised that the location was a Gypsy wagon. A man who lives in the wagon handed Dave a strange looking tube sealed with wax and told him to deliver the package to Mr. Damien Black on Raven Ridge.

            Damien Black was an evil man who wanted to gain power and wealth, and especially wanted to recover a magic ingot in Dave’s possession. Raven Ridge was a spooky mansion filled with danger, so Dave didn’t go there directly. He went home to discuss with Sticky, the gecko. Sticky persuaded Dave to open the package and change the magic potion with a strange concoction of their own.

            Dave delivered the package to Damien’s mansion. When Damien realized it doesn’t contain his magic potion he was very angry and outed for revenge.
