Summary from Goodreads:
In the small town of Woodsville, Ruby Hood is settling into her role as Guardian of the Wood. In the blink of an eye, her monumental high school graduation comes and goes without her attendance. There are too many other things on her mind.
Her mom, Christine Wood, has just returned from caring for Ruby's ill grandmother. Kent Wolf finally gets released from the hospital and Kayla Wolf is desperate to make amends, while Dylan Hunter works to hone his Huntsman skills. Everything seems like it’s going to work itself out, until Ivy Snow shows up on Ruby’s front porch with an RV filled with seven dwarfs.
As a new darkness casts a shadow over Woodsville, Ruby is unsure where to turn when turmoil erupts in the Wood, and finds herself aligned with an unusual cast of characters. As Guardian of the Wood, Ruby worries that she can’t save everyone, but what if she is the one who needs saving?
This is the second book in the Ruby Hood Series by Stephanie Greenhalgh.

Teasers
“Who are you? Why are you poking me? Where am I?” A tiny yet
gruff voice spoke.
“I’m Ruby Hood. You’re in my Wood. Who are you?” Ruby asked,
circling around. She was mistrustful of creatures new to her Wood. And she
wasn’t sure she was buying the ‘Where am I’ act.
“I’m Grumps.” The man gruffly replied.

“Well, there you have it, folks. Our Guardian is off on an
adventure. I’ve got a phone call to make. Let me know when she wakes.” The
mayor stepped over Ruby’s still body and walked into the living room.

“OUCH! Ruby! What’s going on?” Dylan shouted, obviously
immobilized by the bush. “Come on! Don’t just stand there! Get out here and
help me! There’s a weird group of people in a bus at the edge of the Wood.”
~The Twistedly True Tale of Ruby
As she reached into Gram’s silver canister for sugar, a
shiver shook her body. Her eyes lit up and she smiled. She felt Kent enter the
Wood, except it felt different. She dropped the canister and bolted toward the
front door, yanking it open just in time to come face to face with the
mayor.

“I’m not sure. I was running from something. An evil queen,
maybe?” the little man shook his head and began to slap his temple, trying to
remember. Stopping, he looked up into Ruby’s eyes. It was then she noticed his
green eyes glowed, briefly, illuminating his face, before they turned slate
gray. His tone softened a fraction. “What are you? Are you a queen or a
princess?”
