A Survival Guide for Serious Spies

Trapped by villainous goons? Menaced by ferocious alligators? Stuck in a a tight air duct, with guard dogs approaching and sleeping gas seeping in? NEVER FEAR! The amazing year 5s and 6s from Thorner’s Primary School, Litton Cheney have got you covered. We had a fantastic time, working with this band of code breakers, spy-masters and secret operatives to write a training manual for secret agents who might need help escaping from any situation! We worked out how to decipher the cyphers, evade the captors and sneak into the strongholds, and the result is a must-read for any budding 007s.

With wonderful illustrations from illustrator Tin Holloway, this was an absolute blast to create. Huge thanks to Mike Sitch, Mrs Biggins and all the staff at Thorner’s Primary, and also to our wonderful volunteer team for the support of the children and their writing.
