Le Carré for ten-year-olds, this book made espionage seem like a perfectly viable profession.
As someone who had planned on a career in espionage from
the age of nine or so, thanks to the Knowhow Book of Spycraft
and its companion volume, the Official Spy's Handbook - it is
no exaggeration that, for years on end, these books were my
life - my heart soared as the news that our secret services are
being urged to recruit middle aged mothers.
From cracking secret codes and creating effective disguises to tracking and decoding signals it's a book to be kept close at hand but hidden from the unknown enemy.
I love a book that encourages kids to be creative and The Usborne Official Spy's Handbook is just that!
I remember reading this when I was a kid in the 80s with my sister and brother. We loved it, LOVED it so much!
