About this listen

A girl with ambition. A clever ruse gone awry. A fatal encounter....

11-year-old Ruthless will do whatever it takes to live up to her name. Slaughtering pirates, running an underground gambling operation, and intercepting Russian spies are just a few examples.

In true Ruthless fashion, she claims the title of student body president, but her aspirations are cut short after getting in trouble. Not letting that stand in her way, she runs for Mayor with the help of her incredibly strong best friend, Owen. Her town of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has no age requirement to run for the post. The chances of a child winning are slim, to say the least, so Ruthless and Owen disguise themselves as an adult, with the good old ‘two kids in a trench coat’ ruse.

This seemingly harmless scheme has grave consequences that invite the turmoil of her mother’s past back to haunt her. When the dangers of the adult world come crashing down on Ruthless, she must learn how to live with her new reality, and ultimately use it to turn her life into a success story - and live up to her name. But, will she be able to leave the past behind?

First let me say that this was an incredible book. It was so cute and funny and truly had the voice of an 11 year old. Throughout the story, there were so many different emotions that I felt- from happiness and joy all the way to sorrow and heartbreak.

The twist was amazing, I was so thoroughly surprised when it happened and my heart had no idea what to do other than hurt. It rounded out the story and truly made Ruthless feel more like a person and less of a voice from a book. 100000/10 recommend.
