About the Author:
Bart King writes funny--and educational!--books for kids and immature adults. A longtime middle school teacher, he's written 28 books, including The Big Book of Superheroes, The Drake Equation and An Architectural Guidebook to Portland.
Review:
"Bart King's books are popular with middle school readers, a notoriously tough audience... SPY STUFF contains a lot of interesting facts and snappy stories mixed in with the silliness." -The Oregonian
"This tongue-in-cheek guide to espionage explores a broad swathe of spy-related topics -- everything from eavesdropping and code breaking to cyber-warfare and spreading misinformation -- while referring to historical (and recent) spies and spy operations. King includes topics like assassination, but keeps the tone light ("Some villains are so mean, their assassination seems only fair"). Amusing anecdotes will entertain readers while giving a sense of how espionage works in the real world." --Publishers Weekly
"My ten-year-old son has read all of King's books several times, a huge compliment to the author ... He's very picky and won't waste his time on any old book ... King's humor is spot-on for middle schoolers." --Metro Parent
