Lauren Child first introduced the character of Ruby Redfort, thirteen-year-old secret agent, in her three award-winning, bestselling Clarice Bean novels. Now the star of her own series, Ruby has featured in six novels so far: Ruby Redfort: Look Into My Eyes; Ruby Redfort: Take Your Last Breath; Ruby Redfort: Catch Your Death; Ruby Redfort: Feel the Fear; Ruby Redfort: Pick Your Poison; Ruby Redfort, Blink and You Die.

The Ruby Redfort series features codes and puzzles created with the help of super-geek consultant Marcus du Sautoy, Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University and all-round genius.

I will be updating this page to include more detail about how I write and plan the novels and more intriguing information about how the series came together with illustrations and codes. Stay tuned, or take a picture – it’ll last longer.
