RUBY Redfort is the ultimate fictional hero for pre-teen readers.
The star of a series of books by beloved writer Lauren Childs, Ruby is schoolgirl by day, secret agent/code-cracker who saves the world from baddies by night.
She may be just 13, but she has the courage and conviction of someone who is decades older.
Her latest adventure, Feel the Fear, has her attempting to crack a crime that is as curious as it is dangerous. Will she succeed?
