Gr 3–5—The smoke and mirrors world of espionage is introduced in these thrilling titles. Throughout each book, spy methods, talents, and equipment are detailed. "Meet a Spy!" boxes are shown in each text. These invite readers to meet real-life spies of all stripes, many of whom were women. (And pigeons, during World War I!) These books are heavily illustrated with historical and modern photos, adding intrigue to the titles. The writing is gripping, as are the stories. Short glossaries, bibliographies, and indexes are included. VERDICT Great for research and browsing. Excellent choices to add to the 327.12 area.
