Ruby's teacher asks Ruby and Yasmin to look after a new girl at school. Her name is Lauren, and it is not long before she manages to upset the uneasy equilibrium between the two best friends. Ruby resents the way Yasmin often waltzes off, leaving her to entertain the extremely shy Lauren. Meanwhile, back home Ruby is under pressure to accept Tiffany as brother Joe's girlfriend, not least because Holly seems to have got together with another boy. However, St Valentine's promises some fun events and an opportunity for a little Valentine card devilment to relieve Ruby from all this relationship stress and get back at Yasmin. Of course, things do not go exactly according to plan and Ruby soon finds herself in rather hot water . . .

Ruby Rogers is about to turn ten. She wants to be a gangster when she grows up. She also wants nothing more than a tree house for her birthday. Problem is, there aren't any trees in her garden, and her family laugh off the idea. Ruby's furious, but then life takes a turn for the better when, through her best friend Yasmin, she meets Holly Helvellyn, a super-cool Gothic girl who's friends with Yasmin's older sister. It turns out Holly rather fancies Ruby's older brother Joe - the brooding artist in the sixth-form who has a strange habit of talking in newspaper headlines. One day Holly asks Ruby to steal something from Joe's bedroom for a joke, setting off a chain of events that culminate in some very unexpected but pleasant surprises . . .

Winter is closing in, and with it comes a new set of problems. Ruby is afraid of the dark, and older brother Joe enjoys taking advantage of this by giving her scares whenever he can. The fabulous Holly points out that everyone is afraid of something. True as this turns out to be, it doesn't really help Ruby, especially when she discovers that her babysitter is even more afraid of the dark than she is! On top of that, it's the school play and Ruby also has to confront her stage fright. And then, when things really can't get any worse, Joe is still going out with that awful girl, Tiffany. Why, oh why, won't he come to his senses, dump her and go out with the wacky, witty and wonderful Holly?
