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.
CW: Cultural appropriation, museum ethics, societal ignorance, discussion of criminal justice systems, teenagers in danger, kidnapping, and murder.
