Ruby and the Off-Road Rally

A Thrilling Off-Road Adventure Where Kindness Wins the Race (Ruby and Scout's Adventures)

By: Lisa Ferland, Julie Dwyer

Narrated by: Erin Rieman, Richard Rieman

A Two-Time Award-Winning Children’s Book. Recognized by the 2025 PenCraft Awards and the 2025 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards for excellence in children’s literature.

A high-octane, confidence-building adventure that helps kids learn teamwork, perseverance, and what to do when things don’t go according to plan.

Ruby LOVES to race.

Scout LOVES to follow the rules.

In their very first off-road rally, this fearless driver and her by-the-book navigator are ready to prove they’ve got what it takes…until the desert throws them curveballs they never expected.

Wrong turns, obstacles, frustration mounting, exhaustion nearing, and a race that starts slipping out of control.

Ruby wants to push harder.

Scout wants to play it safe.

And neither is listening to the other.

As the pressure builds, Ruby and Scout must figure out how to slow down, communicate, and work together—or risk losing more than the race.
