About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking more autonomy or feels like their unique talents are overlooked by the adults in their world. It is the perfect remedy for a kid who needs a confidence boost wrapped in a high energy, laugh out loud mystery. Mac B., Kid Spy tells the story of a regular kid who gets a phone call from the Queen of England to solve a high stakes heist involving the Crown Jewels. While the plot is an absurdist spy caper, the underlying themes speak to a child's desire for independence and the realization that being a 'kid' is actually a secret weapon. The humor is sophisticated yet accessible, making it an excellent choice for reluctant readers or children transitioning into longer chapter books. It celebrates creative problem solving and the idea that anyone, no matter their age, can be the hero of their own story.
