Clarice Bean Series - Ruby Redfort

Ruby Redfort

An important plot device is the "Ruby Redfort collection," a series of fictional books from which Clarice and Betty frequently find inspirational. Ruby's catch phrase is "You better believe it, Buster." The series is as follows:

  • There Was a Girl Called Ruby
  • Run For It, Ruby
  • Where in the World Are You, Ruby Redfort?
  • Are You For Real, Ruby Redfort?
  • Run Ruby Run
  • Who Will Rescue Ruby Redfort?
  • Ruby Redfort Saves the Day
  • Ruby Redfort Rules
  • Rush to Russia Ruby

These "books" are written by Patricia F Maplin Stacey, and in one book Betty meets Patricia F Maplin Stacey in Russia and gets a book signed. In another book, Bean gets to be in a Ruby Redfort movie, starring "Skyler Summer" as Ruby Redfort.

Hitch is a character in the Ruby Redfort series. He is the Redfort family butler. He is the only one in the Redfort household that is aware that Ruby is a secret agent. Hitch has often helped Ruby escape from tricky situations.

Lauren Child contracted to begin a Ruby Redfort series in autumn 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word ruby:

    Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
    Lat me the dead look on;
    Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
    She lay an’ smil’d on him.

    O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
    An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
    For I hae fasted for your sake
    These fully day [is] nine.
    Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)
