The author worked as a CIA analyst herself and I felt like it showed in how well she understood all the dynamics. It also had a heavy family/motherhood aspect. Need to Know: This adult novel is unique in that it was more of a psychological thriller rather than an action story. I listened to the audiobook (which was very well done!) but also checked out the physical copy so I could read all the insights and historical notes at the end. There are not a lot of facts of Mary’s life recorded, but I thought the author’s interpretation was wonderfully depicted and felt plausible and honest. The Secrets of Mary Bowser is an adult historical fiction novel about a formerly enslaved woman who received an education and then returned to slavery undercover as a spy for the Union reading notes and eavesdropping in the Confederate president’s home.

I’d Tell You I Love You But Then I’d Have to Kill You: I read the start of the Gallagher Girls series in high school (and finished it in college when the later books came out) and thought it was so much fun! A great book for transitioning from middle grade to young adult novels as the content is still very tame.

To suit the age level it has a more conversational, casual tone and breaks down into smaller and engaging sections, but it is still packed full of great information. Spies, Lies, and Disguises is a middle grade level (about 9 years old and up) nonfiction that reveals all kinds of undercover operations that took place during WWII. Independent reading about ages 8 and up but also makes a great read aloud and is amazing on audio. The City Spies series is engaging and exciting for a wide range of ages. There are clues, codes, ciphers, and more! Very well executed and geared towards ages 8-12. The Spy on History series takes a really creative, engaging approach as readers can read a narrative of her story while also doing a lot of their own sleuthing along the way. Natan Hale’s Hazardous Tales: One Dead Spy by Nathan Hale: This is my 9 year old’s favorite series! Through graphic novel format it brings history alive and is a very popular pick among elementary schoolers. Some were individuals I have previously read about like Mary Bowser, Nancy Wake, and Hedy Lamarr but many of them were brand new to me. I was particularly happy to see such a diverse inclusion of spies around the world. I am a big fan of this style of oversized nonfiction with pockets of information spread throughout the page and engaging illustrations. The Secret Life of Spies is a beautifully designed new children’s book and I loved sharing these fascinating true stories with my 7 year old. Graphic novel style illustrations that include clever bookish hints pair perfectly with a quick, engaging text to make this an entertaining read! It’s silly and comical, but also a great celebration of the power of books. Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian: This girl has my dream job-a secret agent librarian who saves the world by knowing just the right book to use at just the right time! It is so much fun and has been reread many times at my house. With so many fun little details and a wonderful ending, this one was a big hit with me and my kids.

I hope you find something to enjoy here!ĭisclaimer: Some of these books I received free from publishers to review. but it quickly turns into a tribute to savvy parental mentoring.I compiled a list of my favorite books about spies for every age level-from the very youngest readers through adults. Santoso’s crisp images and liberal use of white space keep the focus on domestic comedy.
Santoso’s art conveys broadly comical action, and his slightly retro palette and exaggerated cartoon style are well-suited to the undercover prowess Spy Guy seeks. This is a fun blend of savvy parenting and on-point comedy. Santoso’s wonderfully noirish illustrations make this book fun and engaging, as do Young’s rhyme schemes and wordplay.
School Library JournalĬhildren who love to play at being spies in their own homes and neighborhoods will appreciate the question posed by this hilarious and heartening book. But as the Chief says, that he must discover for himself.įluffy fun that promotes visual literacy and will make a positive addition to interactive storytime collections. All Spy Guy wants is to figure out the secret to spying. He’s too loud, too squeaky, and in need of a good disguise. Spy Guy is a spy-but not a very good one.
