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!🔍

The WWII adventure book

Review by AdamA

How I Became a Spy is a great WWII book filled with adventure and secrets, stopping you at each chapter to solve a riddle. A great book that keeps you on your toes, making you want to skip through the book to know what happens next. Overall a incredible book.
