    The Clarice Bean books are exceptionordinarily good and I’m glad that Lauren Child is making a Ruby Redfort series! I’m like Betty Moddy I liked Clarice Bean Don’t Look Now because it’s related a LOT to me (well Betty moving is like me). I like comparing myself to fictional characters of book series that I like.

    hi lauren I love your Clarice Bean books they are so awesome! if ruby redford isn’t a real book i think you should make it one. i think you should start writing one beacause they sound really intresting and it would be so cool if you could write one so people could start reading them.

    LOVE YOUR FAN CAITLYN!

    The good news is that a Ruby Redfort series is coming. But sadly from what I can tell, it won’t be available until a year from now.
