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.

“Its quick silver bell beating, beating
And down the dark one ruby flare
Pulsing out red light like an artery,”
