Spies around the World

Tales of daring secret operatives and risky plots are not just
the stuff of movies. There are real Spies around the World
at work every day. This series investigates the espionage
agencies of four countries, tracking their histories of
intelligence gathering and spotlighting some of the most
famousor infamousmissions and associated participants.
Fictional spies from popular culture are contrasted with their
real-life counterparts, while historical photos give witness to
the true and sometimes incredible actions of everyday spies.

through a top-secret file drawer crammed with mug shots, fingerprints, maps, and
more, the Spies around the World series gives an expedient but surprisingly
robust report. Booklist

Review of Amazing Animals
Riveting, close-up photos

will draw young audiences to
these introductions.

Review of Creepy Creatures
The layout is uniformly simple

but effective, constructed with a nice
balance of main text for the report
writers, smaller chunks of esoterica for
browsers, and killer photos. All in
all, upper-echelon animal books for
middle-grade researchers.
Booklist
Review of Living Wild

series uses a format similar to the
publishers excellent NFL Today
series, which means plenty of
technical, hard-driving game recaps
paired with giant-size photos that
freeze-frame the sweat and glory
of pro basketball.
