false 516182 6 Here is how things stand at the beginning of newly-licensed driver Ruby Oliver's junior year at Tate Prep: * Kim: Not speaking. But far away in Tokyo. * Cricket: Not speaking. * Nora: Speaking—sort of. Chatted a couple times this summer when * they bumped into each other outside of school—once shopping in the U District, and once in the Elliot Bay Bookstore. But she hadn't called Ruby, or anything. * Noel: Didn't care what anyone thinks. * Meghan: Didn't have any other friends. * Dr. Z: Speaking. * And Jackson. The big one. Not speaking. But, by Winter Break, a new job, an unlikely but satisfying friend combo, additional entries to <i>The Boy Book</i> and many difficult decisions help Ruby to see that there is, indeed, life outside the Tate Universe. 504124 book 26 9 2006 The Boy Book: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them (Ruby Oliver, #2) total:716|5:198|4:302|3:180|2:33|1:3| 716 2807 1130 107 5 1 false false Sun Feb 08 18:09:53 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 07:06:41 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Nov 14 18:00:04 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 18:07:32 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Aug 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 13:46:01 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 22:19:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Wed Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 20:52:20 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 19:52:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Sep 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 08:17:39 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 07:36:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false true Wed Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 11:51:45 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 11:54:38 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Jun 16 19:35:41 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 17:44:18 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun May 10 19:34:34 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 21:08:16 -0700 2009 The Boy Book by E.
