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.

Unexpected!🔎❓

Review by TerriCherry

At first I only chose the book for my sister-she's 14 now- because she likes historical fiction-I don't. When i got it, I started to read the first chapter....and never put it down. So that's why you never judge a book by it's cover, folks. Because on the Inside, it could be way better than it seems.
