Book Reviews of Spy Survival Handbook
Book Review: My son always has the book with him! A real hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a twelfth birthday present for my third child, a son. He had expressed an interest in some of the spy gear you see in the stores, and I thought this would be a good supplement. As it turned out, with a December birthday, my son got the book first, then some spy gear a few weeks later at Christmastime. Since he got the book, he carries it with him everywhere. He's been practicing morse code by tapping on things, and has plans to form a spy club with some of his friends. The book seems the perfect catalyst to promote imaginative play that includes mental challenge. I strongly recommend getting it for your would-be spy--whether or not they have (or will have) some of the spy gear toys that are available. The book provides plenty of tips that involve household items, pencil, and paper without special gear (e.g., making invisible ink, making encoded notes), so your little spy can get to work right away!
Summary of Spy Survival Handbook
This top-secret spy handbook is packed with all the codes and tools you need to go undercover -- and includes a super decoder keychain!
Think you've got what it takes to be a spy? This book shows you how! Start by learning basic codes from Morse code and Braille to grid and pigpen ciphers. Learn how to dress the part, too, with disguises and undercover surveillance tips. Turn ordinary objects in your house into spy tools-from hidden inks to telescoping mirrors. Act like a special ops agent as you learn how to identify "tails," contact other agents and pass messages. There are even tips on recruiting other spies, starting your own spy club, and playing spy games. Also includes a brief (and real) history of true-life spies.
