Book description
Hey, buster! Normal life is a total yawn. Break out of boredom with
Ruby Redfort, the super-awesome new creation from multi-million-copy
bestseller Lauren Child…
Want to know more? Of course you do, bozo.
Here's the low-down on Ruby Redfort: she's a genius code-cracker, a
daring detective, and a gadget-laden special agent who just happens to
be a thirteen-year-old girl. She and her slick sidekick butler, Hitch,
foil crimes and get into loads of scrapes with evil villains, but
they're always ice-cool in a crisis.
In this first book, we go right back to Ruby's beginnings as an agent.
When an anonymous caller sets Ruby a challenge, it's not long before she
finds her way into the HQ of the most secret of secret agencies -
SPECTRUM. They need her help to crack a code but her desk job soon
spirals into an all-out action adventure, as Ruby uncovers the dastardly
plans of the formidable Fool's Gold Gang… Lauren Child burst on to the
children's books scene in 1999 and has since published many bestselling
and award-winning books, including those featuring the hugely popular
Charlie and Lola, and the Clarice Bean series. She has won numerous
awards including the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal and the Smarties
Gold Award. Her books have been made into an award-winning TV series and
have sold in many languages with runaway success.
