Clarice Bean, Utterly Me
Lauren Child
A new 20th anniversary edition of the utterly classic Clarice Bean, Utterly Me, the very first novel by bestselling Children’s Laureate, Lauren Child.
Clarice Bean loves reading the adventures of Ruby Redfort, ace girl detective and secret undercover agent. Ruby is always going on exciting missions, but the most Clarice gets to do is go to the local shop on her own . . .
But when Clarice and her best friend, Betty Moody, decide to do their school project on the Ruby Redfort books, they suddenly start finding mysteries everywhere. Like why are all the coats on the wrong hooks at school? Where has Granddad disappeared to? And just what is going on in the garden shed?
‘An utterly fantastic book.’

This book is very unique because in a different style it shows a different book inside the book, because the main character, Clarice Bean, is reading a book called Ruby Redfort, a mystery book.

I like how she said that Clarice was interested in books that she wrote. I like Clarice best. Because it’s like reading another persons life. Yes!

I liked it because in Utterly Me there is another story that two children in it read, it’s a Ruby Redfort series. I would recommend this book to children aged 7-10.

The main characters in the book were Clarice Bean and Betty Moody, who I loved, and Grace Grapello although she could be a bit mean. Clarice Bean and her best friend Betty Moody go to school together, they are doing a book report about Ruby Redfort, a girl detective. I enjoyed the story and that Clarice and Betty Moody used tips from the Ruby Redfort stories to solve the mystery of the Missing Book Report Trophy. I bet my best friend will like this book too.

I liked the way that Clarice was trying to solve the mystery that was going on at home and at school. My favourite character in this story was Clarice Bean because she turned out to be really good at solving mysteries. I recommend it to people who like detectives and mysteries.
