Ruby Redfort Look Into My Eyes Were The Kids Alright Podcast

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.
