Spy Survival Handbook [Spiral-bound]

Laban Hill (Author), Robert Rath (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up

This top-secret spy handbook is packed with all the codes and tools you need to go undercover -- and includes a super decoder keychain!

Think you've got what it takes to be a spy? This book shows you how! Start by learning basic codes from Morse code and Braille to grid and pigpen ciphers. Learn how to dress the part, too, with disguises and undercover surveillance tips. Turn ordinary objects in your house into spy tools-from hidden inks to telescoping mirrors. Act like a special ops agent as you learn how to identify "tails," contact other agents and pass messages. There are even tips on recruiting other spies, starting your own spy club, and playing spy games. Also includes a brief (and real) history of true-life spies.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Spy Survival Handbook (Spiral-bound)

This book helped my friend and I to become better at almost any type of spying. We learned how to make a clubhouse; how to write, make, and decode ciphers; play spy games; go undercover; and other, very fun activities. (Of course, kid safe!) My sister always begs to see my book, but it is FYEO (for your eyes only)! The book says so.
