The mystery was incredible. It was well-thought out. Trust me, it isn't your normal "Oh no! A mystery! Who did it?" kind of thing.

Her first children’s book Clarice Bean, That’s Me won a Bronze medal at the Nestle Smarties Book Awards. In 2000, she won the prestigious Kate Greenaway medal for I Will Not Ever, Never Eat a Tomato followed by a second Nestlé Smarties Book Prize in 2002 for That Pesky Rat. Clarice Bean became the star of Lauren’s first novel Utterly Me, Clarice Bean in 2002, and went on to appear in two more novels. A television series based on her Charlie and Lola books has also become a huge hit for CBBC. Smart, savvy, and cool, Ruby Redfort is a modern young heroine adept at holding her own in the adult world. Replete with codes, high-tech spy gadgets, outspoken T-shirts, and plenty of humor, LOOK INTO MY EYES is a fun, if often fantastical, mystery adventure romp with plenty of character and action and will appeal to male and female readers looking to keep their wits sharp while minding Ruby’s “Rule 1: You can never be completely sure what might happen next."

Ruby Redfort, undercover agent and mystery solver, is familiar to Lauren's readers as Clarice Bean's favourite literary character. The woman ( LB) tells her that she is the head of a very secret agency called Spectrum. She offers Ruby a job as a codebreaker as they recently lost their codebreaker, Lopez. Ruby accepts after a while and goes home. As she climbs out of the manhole cover, she sees Hitch, who is actually a secret agent, assigned to look after Ruby while his injury heals. Lauren Child was born in Berkshire in 1965 [6] and was raised in Marlborough, Wiltshire, where her father led the art department at Marlborough College and her mother taught in a primary school. [1] She was the middle child of three daughters. She changed her first name from Helen to Lauren when she was a child. [7] She attended St John's School and, from 16, Marlborough College. [8] She studied Art briefly at Manchester Polytechnic and later at City and Guilds of London Art School. [9] She started her own company, Chandeliers for the People, making lampshades. Between 1998 and 2003 she worked for the design agency Big Fish and includes its founder Perry Haydn Taylor in the dedications of her books. [10]

Ruby Redfort, the young sleuth in an imagined book series adored by Child’s already-established character Clarice Bean, begins her very own series with this lukewarm mystery.

Ruby writes that Froghorn is on stakeout duty for letting her get away. She writes why Buzz is called Buzz, but that part is blanked out. Finally, she writes that she doesn't know what the Count was looking at on the Jade Buddha with a laser tool, but Clancy has a hunch that they haven't seen the last of him. (: The Ruby Redfort series by Lauren Child, 2011-2014. I read the first two of six total books. The first four are titled Look Into My Eyes, Take Your Last Breath, Catch Your Death, and Feel the Fear. The other two titles are not yet released, but will be in the next couple years. I started reading and I was instantly hooked. It was amazing. It had many unpredictable moments, twists and turns witch I liked very much, cool kind of font through out the book, a great story line and Ruby wore some really funny slogan shirts witch made me laugh. It took me about 9 days to finish, considering it was a big book with small font I was impressed. I've been a massive fan of Charlie and Lola and Clarice Bean ever since I was really little. My parents would read me the picture books, and then when the first CB novel came out they read it to me as well. When I read it on my own it was the first chapter book I had ever read with no help at all, and I was immensely proud of myself. I bought the second book and waited avidly for the third and last. My best friend's mother used to work in publishing and she happened to be at Lauren Child's book signing, and bought me a signed edition of Don't Look Now. I've been waiting for Ruby Redfort books to come out for ages, and I'm so glad I got it for Christmas.
