The Boy with the Silver Eyes, a new adventure story written by Ruth in collaboration with more than 25 South Australian schools, has been officially released as a free e-book.

Run as part of Children's Literacy Month in February, the project saw primary school classes across the state each tackle a different part of the story, started by Ruth, with a new chapter published every day in The Advertiser and Sunday Mail.

Now the complete story, following the cross-dimensional travels of children Max and Abbie, their dog Monty and cousin Bruno, has been launched as a free e-book.

Illustrated by Advertiser cartoonist Jos Valdman, The Boy with the Silver Eyes can be downloaded from advertiser.com.au/kidsbook for use on a smartphone, tablet, PC or e-reader.
