Why we chose it

What I really enjoy about this book is how it takes children's natural fascination with spy stories and transforms it into something genuinely informative. Rather than pure fantasy, it offers real glimpses into the history of espionage whilst maintaining that sense of mystery that makes the subject so appealing.

The illustrations by Mathias Sielfeld are particularly striking – they bring a contemporary, graphic novel feel to the stories whilst the text strikes just the right balance between accessible and engaging.
