A great story!

Review by Hudson

How I Became a Spy is a great story about WW11 in London. It is also a great book if you want to learn about WW11 and codes and ciphers. You should read this book if you liked the book The Bicycle Spy.

Great

Review by Voogle

I like how it teaches you about different types I codes and that is really cool. I've always found the idea of being a spy interesting and this book really shows you how a boy became a spy in WWII. It is a really awesome book with twists and turns. I recommend this to everyone especially people who like solving mysteries!🔍

Exciting and unexpected

Review by DavidM

We really enjoyed this book. It was a fun one for both the adults and kids. Decoding the ciphers was really fun!
