About this deal

i feel confused about this book. i did like ruby, but probably because she is so precocious, most of the time she felt like an older teenager and the way she talked with her friends using "old pal" and "old friend"? who is she? colombo?? fO.o Just a gripping classic. Felt more cleverer because I understood all of the mathematical symbols in one of the qs for the Spectrum test (couldn't understand the question...but the symbols are a step closer!) now to read the rest before testing negative! THIS IS THE BEST DETECTIVE BOOK EVER WRITTEN!! It contains codes, thefts, kidnapping, snooping and a huge amount of sarcasm😂 And the best thing is that it is a middle grade!!❤️❤️ Both the characters of Hitch and Clancy, Ruby's two main friends in the know, are very amusing to read about. I particularly like Hitch. Clancy is a bit strange, and the way he and Ruby talk to one another seems very unrealistic for two thirteen year olds. I mean, not many people talk like that anymore. Ruby's smart, but why must she insist on talking ungrammatically? However, if you just let yourself forget that aspect, Take Your Last Breath is certainly an enjoyable read. Ahora bien pensé en buscar la obra original, muy difícil conseguir en físico, y en kindle mi economía no es apta para comprar los 5 libros restantes, lo cual es molesto.

The characters are excellente. They are amazingly orchestrated and the banter between all the characters was hilarious. What was refreshing was the bond between Clancy & Ruby. No. Let me guess, Romance? Nope, it's not. It's pure friendship. No, the antagonists have my respects. They were likeable, a bit dramatic, but awesome!

Ruby must pit her wits against a seemingly invisible foe. How do you set your sights on catching a light-fingered villain if you can’t even see him…?

I think you may be getting too into your cover story,” said Ruby, her nose in the refrigerator, searching for the juice. Hitch was awesome, I loved how he was a secret agent, but also a butler/house keeper. He really reminded me of Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji. He is a perfect butler with a double agenda. I loved how caring and protective he was about Ruby. I would see him not only as a butler, or a house keeper, but also as one of her friends. Lauren Child is such a great author, I recommend this book to those who like mystery novels, adventure books and an interesting read. Ahora bien cuando empecé a investigar sobre la saga descubrí que en español solo están publicados estos dos títulos pues la editorial que sería Molino o RBA dejó de publicarlo no sé si la editorial quebró o qué pasó. (Esta editorial me quedo mal anteriormente con la saga La chica Dragón de Licia Toisi la cual también dejó de publicar)

Ruby Redfort

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. No se Uds. Pero para mi es molesto que comiencen a publicar libros de sagas y los interrumpan por x motivo y a uno como lector nos dejan en ascuas por conocer la historia completa, yo creo que el problema es que no tienen las ventas esperadas y lo interrumpen, pero pues si no le hacen publicidad a su catálogo cómo esperan que los lectores compren libros con temáticas diferentes a lo que la tendencia marca. Lo malo es que son libros con potencial.

A quote I liked was one of Ruby's rules : "Even the mundane can tell a story." I liked this quote because I thought it was a very useful rule. I thought that maybe I should pay more attention to mundane things and piece them together to make a story like Ruby does. Continuamos la historia un par de semanas después del primer libro y seguimos a Ruby Redfort la recién reingresada agente de SPECTRUM. La pobre tiene dificultades en compaginar su vida como una chica de 13 años con escuela y amigos, y la vida como agente secreta. Hitch was sitting at the kitchen table, polishing some silverware and looking for all the world like an actual butler. Yes it is a kids book... but I used to read clarice bean as a child and I couldnt miss this new series!The Ruby Redfort books are written by bestselling author Lauren Child. Child is most famous for the Charlie and Lola books and TV series and her books have won multiple awards including Smarties Prize (four times), the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Red House Children’s Book Award. Lauren Child first introduced the character of Ruby Redfort in her three award-winning Clarice Bean novels, fans begged her to develop Ruby’s story and a new series was born. There was one thing I didn't particularly like and that was how some of the conversations suddenly went italic. It was a bit confusing, one moment you would be reading normal and then italics. And it didn't happen with each conversation, so eh.

I loved how everything came together in the end. How even some things I didn't expect had something to do with the bigger picture! It was definitely a moment that made me go AH!! and look startled. I won't spoil what all those things are of course or what the bigger picture is in the end, you will have to read on your own. It's been years since I last read this series, and these used to be my most often read books. So I knew it was getting time for a reread, and wanted to do it sometime next year maybe, but suddenly, I just felt the need to read it NOW. So I did! And oh my goodness it's just as good as I'd remembered. This is one of the series that really got me into reading, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I don't care at all. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like it as much as I'd remembered, but I didn't have that problem at all, so I'm really glad. Siempre he escuchado que se quejan en el caso de mi país México , que no es un país lector, o que los jóvenes no nos gusta leer, pero para mi ese no es el motivo. El problema está en que un libro es muy caro y en ocasiones no te alcanza para comprarlo aunque uno quiera. O no todos tenemos acceso a tabletas como por ejemplo la Kindle. A eso hay que sumarle que las editoriales no promocionan sus catálogos como es debido. Lauren Child MBE is an English author and illustrator. She was the UK Children's Laureate from 2017-19. I used to be a big fan of Charlie and Lola when I was little, then as I got older I’d started to read Clarice Bean. In the Clarice Bean books, Clarice is a big fan of a secret spy agent 'Ruby Redfort' I had always wondered about this young spy, and the adventures she had. Clarice thought she was brilliant. Now I have to agree with her!

what do you do when you don't feel well and have lots of homework hanging over you? read ruby redfort. There’s a lot to lose sleep over in Twinford: there’s the snakes and the bivalves, but they aren’t half as poisonous as the rumours. With so many twists and turns it’s 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. Verán estos libros yo los encontré por casualidad en remate en una feria del libro, como las portadas me llamaron mucho la atención ls compre sin saber de qué se trataba la historia,pero como lo he dicho es buena la historia. I love how the title from the book is also explained and you can clearly see the correlation, with my book's edition it was even better since there is also an apple included on the cover!
