Ruby and the Enchanted Forest Donna Mello

Ruby has big plans for the summer. She wants to swim with the dolphins but she has never seen them at Half Moon Beach. She sets up a campsite next to the forest and points her pirate ship due east. A nature girl at heart and a stargeezer by night, she sends a message to her favorite star, Antares. The next morning, the quiet forest became a jungle. Wild animals could easily destroy her ship and her dream. Then Ruby finds a small red fox named, Vera Cruz sniffing around her campsite. Vera Cruz makes a promise to help find the dolphins after Ruby meets her forest friends. As soon as they walk by two old oak trees, strange things begin to happen in a place where crystals speak, animals teach, and birds and words mysteriously appear.
