Okay, I admit that I abandoned this book, but not because it's terrible. It's actually full of interesting (even useful!) information about spying, espionage and security. I gave up on it because we have the hardcover so it's hard to read while I'm doing stuff (brushing teeth, working out) and because it's kind of silly. The author puts in lots of humorous asides which probably appeal to his target audience but are a little too obvious and lame for me.

But if your kid is into spying, this is a good one. Delphine loved it.

Read this with my 9 year old and 6 year old boys. They loved it, and so did I. It is full of interesting facts and stories.

A fun book about spycraft for ages 8 and up, lots of tips and anecdotes about great (and not so great) spies and escapades.
