Ruby Bell was a brilliant young woman, determined to succeed. On her first day at Maxton Hall, she said, "I will show them my hard work!" Her wealthy classmates laughed and danced around her while they sipped juice. Ruby could see the shiny clothes they wore, but she focused on her books, dreaming of Oxford University.
One day, Ruby accidentally forgot a document for her referral letter to Mr. Sutton, the teacher. When she caught Lydia, a fellow student, sneaking behind a door with Mr. Sutton, she gasped. Lydia was scared Ruby would tell everyone, so she asked her brother James for help. James tried to buy Ruby’s silence with fancy gifts, but she stood firm, saying, “I don’t need your money. I will not be silent!” And with that, Ruby set out to prove her worth at Maxton Hall.
