Excellent WWII spy history for kids
Published by Anne Rightler , 4 years ago
Spies, Code Breakers, and Secret Agents is an excellent history book for younger kids from 8 years to 12 years of age. Carol Roman has done a great job explaining about the fascinating world of spydom during WWII as she writes about spy missions and gear, secret armies, and super spies. Even as an adult I enjoyed reading through the book. I especially liked reading the 'spy-ographies' of a number of people who are known for other occupations but served as spies in the war. Included in that section are Julia Child, Ian Fleming, and Roald Dahl. A glossary is included at the end of the book, as well as a list of resources and a rather extensive bibliography for readers to further explore the intriguing world of spies. I have a couple of grandsons who will love reading this book. I received a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
