This book is very unique because in a different style it shows a different book inside the book, because the main character, Clarice Bean, is reading a book called Ruby Redfort, a mystery book. Utterly Me, Clarice Bean is a simple book for primary school kid. I bought it for my 9 years old daughter, but I was the one who starts to read the book. I did not realise that Lauren Child writes this series. I know that the author is famous for the Charlie and Lola series.

To be honest, Mrs. Wilberton is not my favorite person on the planet of Earth. Unfortunately, I am from Earth and she is my teacher. Clarice’s way of speaking reminds me of Junior B Jones, which I loved as a kid. Clarice loves Ruby Redford mystery novels and dislikes her teacher. However, she gets to do a presentation on what she learned by reading Ruby Redford books, in spite of what her teacher thinks about the series. Her book I Will Not Ever Never Eat A Tomato won the 2000 Kate Greenaway Medal. For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005), a panel named it one of the top ten winning works, which comprised the shortlist for a public vote for the nation's favourite. It finished third in the public vote from that shortlist. Clarice was trying to be an undercover detective and mystery solver inspired by her book Ruby Redfort . It’s her favorite series of book that she reads over with her best friend Betty Moody . Mrs Wilberton, their teacher, asked the class to choose a book that they will learn from it and they need to exhibit it, on the day of the exhibition, the winner will get a prize and a trophy . Clarice chose her best friend Betty Moody to do the project, however Betty went away to Russia with her parents for a business trip. Since Bettys mom, Mol is an author,she had a book launch in Russia , so she had to go. Sometimes I stare boredly into space, thinking utterly of nothing. This makes Mrs. Wilberton very irritated. I get on her nerves. I know this because she is always telling me I do.Fans of Child's irrepressible, impulsive picture-book heroine — as well as kids who have not yet had the pleasure of making her acquaintance — will devour her first chapter-book adventure. . . . Once again, Clarice Bean is utterly a charmer. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments I liked the Ruby Redfort interludes- they gave me Alex Rider vibes. I think that reading this without the veil of childhood innocence and naivety made me feel like a parent reading to their child, or in my case, my inner child. I also like how children’s books like this have themes of class, power dynamics, family etc but told from the perspective of a child with a limited worldview. I have to say though, I can see why the girls love this series. It's well written, funny and full of clever little asides about family and school and relationships. Personally, I found the Ruby Redfort interludes like a less realistic Alex Rider, but I'm not nine years old. The writing made me smile several times and actively giggle once so I would imagine the girls would be in fits of giggles. This book is really full of imagination. The writings are easy, and unique - accompanied by illustrations and different fonts.
