mickey and animal spies

 

Author: Anne Miller

Illustrator: Becka Moor

Publisher: OUP Children’s

Favourite sentence from Page 11: “Mickey was craning her neck as she tried to read (and answer) Rachel’s homework over her shoulder as they bumped their way through the city’s winding roads.”

This book in three words: ciphers, animals, humour

I’m highlighting Mickey and the Animal Spies this week because I don’t think it has had the attention it deserves as a thoroughly engaging introduction to the spy – mystery genre for MG readers. My full review can be read here: Mickey and the Animals Spies by Anne Miller

I love books! I set up and ran a primary school library for a few years before moving to an NHS library as a clinical outreach librarian. My personal view is that encouraging all children to find a love of books is key to their future well-being, there is an evidence base which shows a strong correlation between literacy levels and health outcomes. PGDip in Library and Information Management from the University of Ulster. I only post positive reviews, if I don't like a book or cannot imagine it being one that I would recommend to a readership group whose interests differ from my own, I don't write a review.
