Look into My Eyes (Ruby Redfort, Book 1)
Lauren Child
Hey, buster! Normal life is a total yawn. Break out of boredom with Ruby Redfort, the super-awesome 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 side-kick butler, Hitch, foil crimes and get into loads of scrapes with evil villains, but they’re always ice-cool in a crisis. In LOOK INTO MY EYES, 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…Reviews

This fictional mystery has a gripping storyline and (despite it being difficult) I really enjoyed it. I liked the characters of both Ruby and Hitch. I’d recommend it to mystery lovers aged 9-13.

I enjoyed this book because its about a girl who is determined to find out who robbed her house of everything (literally)and get it all back. Good story, easy to read.

I love it, because Ruby Redford is a normal girl, but she always foils the Count’s plans.

When I started to read this book, I was enthralled. Who was this mysterious, good-looking, highly intelligent girl, Ruby? When she was asked to join a secret spy agency and keep it a secret, I wondered if she would. What about her best friend, Clancy Crew, who knew she was up to something? When she realises that she can solve the mystery she was asked to code-crack for, she meets villains of all kinds and is close to death... My favourite character has to be Ruby Redfort herself, because of her coolness and braveness and it was just such an amazing book! I recommend this book for children from aged 11 - 14. I would rate this book 5 stars because it was exciting, thrilling and brilliant.
