Ruby's Web
SHORTLISTED, 2026 QUEENSLAND LITERARY AWARDS, CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD
Starting high school has been anything but smooth for Ruby. Not only has she become a social outcast for no apparent reason, but her cousin Amber has started pretending not to know her and she has no idea why.
When Ruby becomes the subject of vicious racism and bullying on the school’s online platform, she longs more than ever to be invisible and left alone. But as events spiral out of control, online and off, she finds herself more and more in the spotlight…
'Ruby’s Web' is a powerful story about finding your voice, seeking help, and addressing cyberbullying and victimisation.
