So, you’re walking along one day sniffing roses when all of a sudden a rhino charges, but you give him the slip by turning suddenly, he’s wrong footed, you run in the opposite direction only to find yourself falling through air, you reach out and now you’re clinging onto a cliff edge by the fingernails and feeling a tad thirsty...
What do you do?
REMEMBER: NEVER SAY DIE.
STOP.
THINK.
DECIDE TO BE CALM.
FOCUS ON THAT GLASS OF ICE-COLD LEMONADE.
SO SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU’RE READING THIS GUIDE AS AN EBOOK. How do I know? Spectrum have their ways, buster. Anyway, what you might not know is that an ebook reader can be a valuable survival tool.

About the Author
LAUREN CHILD first introduced the character of Ruby Redfort in her three award-winning, bestselling CLARICE BEAN novels (Utterly Me, Clarice Bean; Clarice Bean Spells Trouble and Clarice Bean, Don’t Look Now). Since then she has been inundated with letters from fans asking for the RUBY REDFORT books. And it must have worked, because two books – Ruby Redfort: Look Into My Eyes and Ruby Redfort: Take Your Last Breath – have already been published. Not to mention the handy pocket-sized survival guide you are currently holding in your hands!
Lauren is also the creator of the phenomenally successful CHARLIE AND LOLA books, as well as Associate Producer on the TV show of the same name. She has sold millions of books around the world and won many prizes, including the Smarties Prize (four times), the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Red House Children’s Book Award.
