74% funded!! Help us create Ruby's arch nemesis!
2 months ago – Mon, Sep 09, 2024 at 02:08:19 AM

Happy Monday! We are so grateful to have 73 backers participating in our rally to get Ruby and Scout across the finish line! We are very close to reaching our funding goal, so thank you to everyone who has gotten us this far! We are continuing to reach out to families, librarians, outdoor enthusiasts, and nature lovers to get this story in as many kids' hands as possible.

To celebrate, we are inviting backers to vote on Ruby's arch nemesis' characteristics in the polls below. In Ruby and the Off-Road Rally, Ruby finds her main competition stuck in the sand and has to decide whether to rescue her, or leave her. What type of vehicle should she be? Is she a rover, SUV, or a vintage 4-wheeler? If you'd like to propose a name, leave one in the comments! 

We want backers to help us shape the book, so please weigh in and let us know! 

You all have been so wonderful sharing the campaign to Facebook, which has helped us reach new people! Thank you so much! 

You all are amazing!
Vroom, vroom!
Lisa and Julie
