Category Description for Top Secret Files
Bring history alive! Well written, each book in this series contains five sections: Secrets, Spies, Special Missions, Secret Weapons and Secret Forces. Each section provides interesting, concise stories on hidden facts and lesser known true events, along with spy training projects at the conclusion of each section. In Top Secret Files: World War II, for example, children read about Churchill's spy school and secret army; how the James Bond novels came to be; and learn to create a spy obstacle course ... all in the first section! Intermingled in the text are fun fascinating facts. For example, did you know that Ronald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach, was a British spy, who would make up a 'good story' when questioned by the enemy? Black & white illustrations. 115-120 pgs, sc. ~ Deanne
