Look into my eyes: Book 1 (Ruby Redfort)

Product Information

The villains names are all cheesy and corny. Count von Viscount, Lorelei von Leyden, Babyface Marshall. I am definitely curious to other criminals, do they all have such cheesy names? The thing is… I love Lauren Child. Love her. I know I already said that, but there is something (or many somethings) that I really like about her and her style and her voice. From her children’s book illustrations to the spunky attitude of all her characters, I have been caught by the whole shebang hook, line, and sinker. So perhaps its not for everyone, but it is for me. And it is for plenty of people. Especially Brits? Maybe. But Charlie and Lola hold their own here in the US. 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. Child grew up in Wiltshire as the middle child of three sisters and the daughter of two teachers. She has always been interested in the many aspects of childhood, from gazing into toy shop windows to watching American children's shows from the 1960s. After attending two Art Schools, she travelled for six months, still unsure about which career to embark upon. 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.

Este es el segundo libro de la saga Ruby Redfort y aunque a mi parecer le faltó un poco en la trama no decepciona pues mantiene la esencia del primer libro. Yeah, she already believes you’re a butler; you don’t need to make out you’re the best entire one to ever polish on this earthly universe of Twinford.” Yes it is a kids book... but I used to read clarice bean as a child and I couldnt miss this new series! Tigers are roaming the streets, and it looks like someone has deliberately released some very rare and very dangerous animals. Things are going to get wild – and Ruby is going to get badly lost in the wilderness. The question is: will she ever make it out alive?I liked the way the book had lots of bold text and diagrams. The bold text drew my interest to them and made the book seem more exciting and at times, witty. In this book there is a lot of math and code in this book so the diagrams helped me understand some of the most important parts of the mystery Ruby was solving, and didn't leave me feeling extremely confused. My first Ruby Redfort book, but certainly it won't be the last one! I will be getting this whole series. Maybe, I will wait until summer and my vacation, so I can eat, um read, these while relaxing in the sun (at least I hope it will be sunny :P). 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. The thing is… my daughter doesn’t like them. She is a fan of fantasy and mystery and also very much of mixed-up fairy tales. Ruby Redfort falls into the secret agent mystery category. Although not a big fan of Clarice Bean, I thought Windsor would like these more because of the mystery. But she has set them aside, twice, to continue plowing through yet another mixed-up fairy tale series (even though I found the other series inferior…) and has yet to finish even the first one.

i've had a think and i believe that Henry Cavill would make an excellent Hitch. also this book is a great one. my second fav potentially? good things.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. I really loved this book, I am giving extra points for the fact that this takes place in a time before we had cellphones, before internet, before anything really fancy actually. The kids use pay phones, or the landline, Ruby and Clancy have a secret code and leave notes. If they want to research something they use their brains, and in Ruby's case lots of books. It was something that I loved. So many detective stuff these days are full of people just googling stuff and figuring it out within the blink of an eye, while with this one you actually had fun seeing the characters struggle and think about the answers. Another great instalment to the Ruby Redfort series! To think that it is the supposed second-to-last novel! I really enjoyed this book as it is very cleverly written, because you feel you are finding the clues with Ruby. The plot has a lot of different stories included in it, which makes it unexpected and leaves you on the edge of your seat. I would recommend for ages 10+

My only criticism of this book would be how Ruby's attitude is presented. For all those who were hoping it would improve it doesn't seem to have changed! 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. 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)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! 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. 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!

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. La trama es sencilla y agradable pues deseas saber más de cómo resolverá Ruby el misterio que le rodea. Me gusta mucho que la historia sea sencilla pero entretenida. Y aparte te hace pensar con los códigos secretos entre Ruby y Clance.I had a laugh many times at the situations that Ruby gets into. She really gets into a lot of trouble at times, doesn't she? Lauren Child is such a great author, I recommend this book to those who like mystery novels, adventure books and an interesting read. 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. anyway, i can imagine that this book could be very appealing to my twelve-year-old self, so probably any twelve to thirteen-year-old right now can find it interesting. 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.
