The annual Reader Views literary awards were established to honor writers who have had their books published by a subsidy publisher, small press, university press, or independent book publisher geared for the North American reading audience. All judging is done by reviewers from Reader Views. They are experts in their fields as well as avid readers. Finalists in each category were determined by a point system and final judging was determined by a jury of judges.
The Ruby Red Slippers is the story of a young girl who receives a new pair of shoes from her grandmother which she believes possesses magical powers. When she grows out of her ruby red slippers, she realizes the magic of her shoes comes not from possessing them, but from wearing them.
