My Thoughts:

I love Carole P. Roman books. They have all been a huge hit with my kids. I was thrilled to see a larger chapter book for my son who loves history. Add the spies, double agents, and code breakers to the mix he is hooked.

I liked that it just didn’t focus on the war situations in Europe but in other places.  The book gives you some portraits of different spies both males and females. You even get a glimpse of spies today. The book gives you a great overview of how important spies were in the war.

The book has a neat glossary with the vocabulary. It talks about all the spy gadgets. There are additional websites that you can explore. I enjoy that it covers some of the obvious spy topic but even ones that I didn’t think about.

My son read this book quickly and enjoyed it from the front cover to the back.
