Ruby Redfort, Look Into My Eyes
from Were the Kids Alright? Hosted by Were the Kids Alright?
This week, we read Ruby Redfort, Look Into My Eyes by Lauren Child. We discuss what it takes to write a book-within-a-book, Lauren Child’s Clarice Bean problem, Ruby’s unnecessary sassiness, and how suspicious it is that a supposedly-good non-governmental spy agency needs help from a child. Content Warnings: Cultural appropriation, museum ethics, societal ignorance, discussion of criminal justice systems, teenagers in danger, kidnapping, and murder.
