Gr 5-7-Each title starts off with a "Fast Facts" section, giving brief background information on the particular era. It also includes spies and their tools. The writing is serious. Mini biographies of spies and their actions are included. Anna Smith Strong, a spy during the Revolutionary War, cleverly used a clothesline to communicate with fellow spies, for example. These biographies give a personal touch to the stories. Illustrations include period photographs, posters, maps, charts, etc. One photo shows the Rosenbergs, found guilty and executed during the Cold War. A "Think About It" add-on asks readers for questions to further consider the subject matter. VERDICT Perfect for reports and downtime reading, these titles should prove popular among students who like spies, especially during wartime.

Grades 3-6 This entry in the True Spy Stories series (6 titles) begins with a bullet-pointed list of "fast facts," setting readers up with background information on WWII and spying that gives necessary context to the coming stories. From there, five chapters highlight five individual spies who played important roles in the war, for the Axis as well as Allies. Subjects include famed performers Josephine Baker and Claire Phillips, and while accounts are rather brief, they each include a few specifics on how the spies learned and transferred information--by charming audience members, fitting notes into shoe heels, developing elaborate double-agent cover--which young readers will find engaging. Back matter includes discussion questions, a glossary, index, and further resources. A light but entertaining primer on the WWII spy game.
