Customer Reviews

The bestest best book ever.
The book had everything so when i read it I loved it. One reason I loved it was because I loved sneaking around my house and i loved pretending to be a spy so this really helped.

Spy Science : 40 Secret-Sleuthing, code-craking, Spy-catching Activities for Kids
It was really good. I love spy stuff so I loved this.

Good
This book was not VERY good and it doesn't show you how to be invisible. But it shows you how to make some ivisible inks and why it works. It has interesting facts about real spies, and most of the experiments are good. The others just show you what a spy would do. Probably this book would be more intersting for kids younger than 8. Overall, this book is pretty good.
