I think this is a great book about a young girl with an intelligent mind who gets given an amazing opportunity to become SPECTRUM’s new code breaker and how her restless temperament and general personality gets her in a sticky situations.
It is well written and full of witty, wonderful and sometimes annoying characters. You really feel for Ruby in all four of the books and I think her personality and lifestyle is carried on throughout the series.
It also shows cohesiveness from the Clarice Bean books where Ruby was originally introduced.
