Hey, buster! Normal life is a total yawn. So break out of boredom with multi-million-copy bestselling author Lauren Child, and meet your new favourite heroine... Ruby Redfort: detective, secret agent, thirteen-year-old kid.
HereтАЩs the low-down on Ruby Redfort: sheтАЩs a genius code-cracker, a daring detective, and a gadget-laden special agent. She and her slick side-kick butler, Hitch, foil crimes and get into loads of scrapes with evil villains, but theyтАЩre always ice-cool in a crisis.
FEEL THE FEAR:
Ruby must pit her wits against a seemingly invisible foe. How do you set your sights on catching a light-fingered villain if you canтАЩt even see him...?
PICK YOUR POISON:
ThereтАЩs a lot to lose sleep over in Twinford: thereтАЩs the snakes and the bivalves, but they arenтАЩt half as poisonous as the rumours. With so many twists and turns itтАЩs hard to know who to trust, particularly when no one trusts you. Will Ruby make it out in one piece? Well, happy endings are for fairy tales, bozo.
BLINK AND YOU DIE:
All good things come to an end... Ruby Redfort is running scared, a whole bunch of people want her dead and worst of all one of them is on her team. But just who is this agent of doom? You can run, Ruby, but you canтАЩt hide...
