Heureusement, la fillette peut compter sur l''amitié de Betty Belhumeur, qui partage sa passion pour les aventures littéraires de Ruby Redford, une jeune détective à laquelle elle voue une admiration sans bornes et qui est pour elle une véritable source d''inspiration. -- Une série surfant sur une vague à la limite du baroque et du rocambolesque, qui se lit comme une ode rafraîchissante à la spontanéité, au franc-parler et à l''imagination enfantins. Les multiples jeux typographiques, qui reflètent l''énergie débordante de l''héroïne, les illustrations au trait vif et coquin, de même que les extraits des lectures favorites de Clarice confèrent à l''ensemble une esthétique à mi-chemin entre le "scrapbooking" et le journal intime qui ajoute à la saveur de cette galerie de personnages hauts en couleur ... dans laquelle on ne peine toutefois pas à reconnaître ses proches!
