About this listen

Hey, buster! Normal life is a total yawn. Break out of boredom with this super-awesome series from multi-million-copy bestseller Lauren Child. And get ready to meet Ruby Redfort:code-cracking genius. Intrepid detective. Schoolgirl.

Ruby Redfort burst onto the scene in October 2011, and, in the words of Julia Eccleshare, “put imagination and fun back into childhood”.

Now, everyone’s favourite girl detective is back for a second mind-blowing instalment, packed with all the off-the-wall humour, action and friendship of the first book. This time, though, it’s an adventure on the wide open ocean, and Ruby is all at sea… Can she crack the case of the Twinford pirates while evading the clutches of a vile sea monster as well as the evil Count von Viscount? Well, you wouldn’t want to bet against her…
