About This Book
Reach for this book when your child shows a restless intelligence, a love for logic puzzles, or feels like their unique talents are overlooked by the adults in their life. It is the perfect choice for a pre-teen who values independence and wants to see a girl who is celebrated for being 'exceptionordinarily' smart rather than just fitting in. The story follows thirteen-year-old Ruby Redfort, a genius code-breaker who is recruited by a secret intelligence agency. While the plot is a high-octane spy thriller, the heart of the book explores themes of self-confidence, the importance of observation, and the transition from childhood curiosity to professional responsibility. It is a sophisticated, witty read that respects the reader's intelligence while providing plenty of humor and high-stakes action.
