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.

How I Became A Spy

Review by Tennis12

This book is about a boy who is very forgetful, a girl who’s an American spy, and a small dog with a big nose. If you like books that have spies and lots of action, this is the book for you.

good but sad parts

Review by dmky

Overall a good book but it had quite a few sad parts. Love how it makes you feel what it would be to be a spy.
