Ruby Redfort take your last breath by Lauren Child

Ruby Redfort is a 13 year old girl and a expert code cracker who works for a secret agency called Spectrum. She is currently the youngest Spectrum agent and she works for a particular part of Spectrum called Spectrum 8. They have teamed up with Spectrum 5 (the sea division) to teach younger agents like Ruby how to dive. Ruby's instructor is called agent Kegoa who is one of Spectrum 5's best agents.

Her mum and dad are on a luxury cruise in the local Ocean and they don't know about Ruby's cover. The only person that knows about Ruby's cover is her best friend Clancy Crew. She had to swear to Spectrum 8's boss LB that Clancy wouldn't give her cover away.

At last Ruby is given a mission. There have been srange happenings at sea. The currents in the nearby ocean have stopped and shipping disasters have been happening at sea. Ruby and agent Kegoa take a dive to try and find out what is happening. Meanwhile, the luxury cruise ship with Ruby's and Clancy's parents on it has been captured by a band of rusty pirates.

A couple of days later Ruby is talking Clancy through her diving mission. Clancy is petrified of the ocean because he read the book Jaws at the age of 5. Ruby soon finds out about how the currents are stopping. There is a meteor covering the currents. She also finds out that there are strange sea sounds that are aggravating sharks. Spectrum concludes that this is connected to a villain that they have encountered in recent missions, Count Von Viscount. They think that the Count is bribing the pirates to attack the vessels and ships with the Martha Fairbank treasure which was sucked under the current and into a old shipwreck. Can Ruby and Spectrum foil the Count's evil plans?

This is a extremely good book and is a very good read for all people who are into Mystery stories. My favourite character is definitely Clancy because of his weird nature and phobia of the sea.
Rating: 10/10!
