I enjoy Bart King's Big Book series. I can see why kids would like them, and they usually have a few laughs for the adults too. It doesn't hurt that he's a local author, either. His latest book, The Big Book of Spy Stuff, follows in the path of the previous Big Books, and may indeed be one of the best ones he's written. If a kid is interested in espionage and spying, he'll actually learn quite a bit. Adults might even pick up a few knowledge nuggets along the way, too.Contents:Danger Is My Nickname; "Ethical Issues"?

Secret Names Ever; Spy-Catching and Lie-Detecting; The Best-Dressed Agents; Famous (& Infamous) Spies; The 12 Types of Spy Screw-Ups; Weird Assignments; Becoming a Pro; Agencies!; Terminology; Selected BibliographyKing writes in a style that would appeal to the 8 - 12 age frame. The jokes and puns are juvenile (no pun intended... well, maybe a little), but it works here. Kids will be laughing about assassins on tricycles and hamsters sending blackmail photos (although the idea does sound intriguing). But along the way, King mixes in real history and information. For instance, your kids will learn about Operation Mincemeat, a disinformation operation by the Allies in WWII that was a key reason for the success at Normandy.
