Which Ride or Die star created the Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective book series? Octavia Spencer did.

Spencer created and co-wrote the Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective middle-grade book series, which follows a young girl solving mysteries while using her imagination, determination, and ninja-inspired skills. The series began with Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective: The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit, published in 2013, and continued with The Case of the Disappearing Deejay.

The books marked a creative expansion for Spencer beyond acting. She developed the concept with writer Irene Dreayer, combining humorous mystery plots with themes of friendship, family, confidence, and persistence. Randi is presented as an energetic young detective whose investigations turn ordinary community problems into elaborate cases.

Spencer is best known for her Oscar-winning performance as Minny Jackson in The Help, as well as roles in Hidden Figures, The Shape of Water, Ma, and the Pixar film Onward. In Ride or Die, she plays Debbie, one of the show’s central characters. A common mix-up is to treat the series as a film or television franchise; it is a children’s book series associated with Spencer’s work as an author and creator.
