and mazes, echoes and tunnels with his training buddy Leon, code name
Agent Tech Head.
Young readers, especially boys, will enjoy this book, which contains
interesting spy information as well as some incredible gadgets. Not

walking on water.
The large print, illustrations and interesting text styles are a boon
for emerging readers. Packed with interesting gadgets and full of
adventure, this series should prove popular.
