(4) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Ruby stars in a successful British soap opera. What her fans don't know is that her parents have split up, the show's producers are thinking about killing her off because she's going through an "awkward" phase, and she is agonizing over her first kiss. While the plot is formulaic, the soap opera frame and Ruby's liveliness are pleasant diversions.
