Review Quotes

"Who were spies, what did they do, and how did they operate? Spies, Code Breakers, and Secret Agents is a phenomenal book for kids and will expand their interest in history in a fun and easy way. A must-read book of secrets!" --Erica Graham, MS, CCC-SLP, award-winning author of the Talking Tales children's series

"Dan Lewer is an expert teacher and wrote his book, Spies in the Civil War for Kids, masterfully. It is accessible for middle school readers and does not shy away from talking to them, in a developmentally appropriate way, about the hard history behind the Civil War. It gives attention to those whose history is given less attention in the triumphs of history, especially women and the enslaved." --CherylAnne Amendola, history teacher

"Spies, spy rings, double agents, secret identities, secret codes, secret hiding places--all of this was part of the story of the American Revolution. A vast ring of spies was directed by none other than spy master George Washington. Spies in the American Revolution for Kids tells how spies provided crucial information to both sides--information that is often left out of other accounts. This is a fascinating and readable source for social studies classes or for independent reading by history buffs." --Myra Zarnowski, author of Making Sense of History and History Makers
