A Riddle in Ruby: 1 - Softcover

"This tale of revolutionary intent, self-discovery, and double-crossing cross-dressing is worth the trip. Sailors seeking espionage and a cast of characters who can't sit still should embark on this series' maiden voyage."--Kirkus Reviews

"The world-building is fascinating, the characters entertaining, and a sequel is assured by a cliffhanger. Good fun!"--School Library Journal

"It's worth suspending disbelief to enjoy following this intrepid heroine and her companions, who are full of surprises themselves, on their swashbuckling journey."--Publishers Weekly

"Davis' debut novel promises adventure, magic, mystery, and alchemy, all of which it gleefully provides. ...Middle-grade readers will love the magic of the Chemystral Age and will surely be on the hook for the next two books."--ALA Booklist

"Bound from one danger to the next with Ruby and pals, narrowly escaping bloodthirsty mechanical dogs; a terrifying, maniacal scarred man; and a haughty master of chemystry (to name just a few)... Readers will happily jump on board the promised sequel."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A Riddle In Ruby has everything you could possibly want from a story: clever heroes, fiendish villains, startling plot twists, pirates, thieves, swashbuckling, adventure, action, mayhem - and plenty of humor. This is an exceptionally enjoyable, incredibly original series."---Stuart Gibbs, author of the New York Times-bestselling Spy School saga
