I've always loved Clarice Bean, and when I reread this favorite elementary school book, I was filled with happy memories of simpler times. I loved reliving the funny and quirky story of Clarice and her friends and her love of Ruby Redfort. I feel like I've told this to everyone I've talked to about this book, but the author of this book is Lauren Child, also well known for her Charlie and Lola picture books. In the Clarice Bean series, Clarice and her best friend Betty are obsessed with a series called Ruby Redfort about an eleven-year-old undercover detective and spy, and that's when I became obsessed with the idea of the series. Then I learned when I was about 10 years old that so many fans of Clarice Bean actually wrote to Lauren Child asking her to write a real Ruby Redfort series. And she did, and those books are also amazing so I encourage you to check those out too!! Clarice is faced with many mysteries that seem to be up to her to solve. This book was a blast from the past for me, and I totally loved reading it again after all these years!

I still can't believe I having read this book yet! I wish my library had it!

It's funny you mention dollar tree because, I had never even heard of this book Until I found it at dollar tree! And I agree, it's definitely unappreciated!!

cool and quick guide to the kane chronicles . wish people would read and sell them more, it was impossible 4 me to find a copy of this book. I eventually found this in a bookstore when visiting Boston. Later on i found these books in the dollar store. so for sure this book is unappreciated tell all your friends about this book
