Lauren Child's best-selling chapter book series introduces feisty and lovable heroine Clarice Bean to a whole new audience.

Clarice is all-grown-up . . . Well, maybe not quite, but she goes to school now! These stories revisit Clarice's utterly mad family, and introduce Ruby Redfort, ace girl detective and star of Clarice's favourite books. Ruby is always going on exciting adventures, while all Clarice gets to do is go to the local shop on her own . . .
 
Note: The Clarice Bean Chapter Books feature the same beloved character as Lauren Child's Clarice Bean Picture Book series for younger readers.
