Spies and Lies: Famous and Infamous Spies
Did a family of four, including a six-year-old boy, spy on the U.S. military at Pearl Harbor during World War II? Is it possible that pigeons and mice could be used as spies? Some of the most famous and infamous spies in history are not what or whom you would expect. Author Susan K. Mitchell looks at many spies and their secrets from family spy rings to animal spies.
* Reviews *
This series will entice even the most reluctant reader. Students learn about spies and espionage, technology, and gadgets, plus several of the titles include biographies of famous and not-so-famous people in the world of spies. The books all include a one-page discussion of a career specifically covered in the book. Callout boxes and sidebars might cause less focused readers to wander, though the colors and simple sentence structure will enable lower level readers to enjoy the work while older readers will benefit from the in-depth information sprinkled throughout. Photographs, illustrations, and some activities make these books valuable additions to elementary and middle school libraries for history technology, and career sections. Bibliography. Glossary.
