Kid Spy 6: Hidden Mission

ㆍThe most delightful fairy tale I've ever read _Reader's review

▶ Addictive spy fairy tales from the excellent storyteller 'Mac Barnett'! The 'Kid Spy' series
The extraordinary performance of the Queen who orders missions by phone and the kid spy who carries them out.
The Queen of England in this book is as generous, cheerful, round, and curly-haired as the well-known Queen Elizabeth II (2-1926). The Queen of England loves her son enough to lose a game of chess. And the Queen of England always calls Mack and gives him a mission with light conversation. Giving Mack a small gift after completing a mission is also a unique way of the Queen of England! A spy operation that is transmitted over the phone without a code name! Kid Spy Mack carries out the national secret mission in everyday language very naturally and excellently.
Kid Spy Mac's sixth mission is to sneak into the Berlin TV Tower, the tallest building in Berlin, Germany, to find Robotron 2000. Robotron 2000 is a computer made in East Germany and is equipped with powerful Soviet encryption software. The daunting task is to save the encryption program on a floppy disk! Can Mac, who can't even speak German, complete this mission? Mac goes on an adventure with the Queen of England's dog, Freddie.

▶ A humorous story that captures important events in world history in the 1980s.
Mac Barnett and Mike Lowery explain the thrilling spy operation scene by scene slowly and humorously with words and pictures. Based on the incident of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany in 1989, they weave the history and pop culture of the 1980s into a spy story. Entering the historical era of the Soviet Union and Germany, or East Berlin and West Berlin in the 80s, Mac crosses the Iron Curtain and engages in a chase with a KGB official, wearing overalls and trying hard to secure a floppy disk. Mac's story feels so realistic that you can't tell if it's the 80s or the 90s. The occasional unintelligible German phrase is one of the fun things about feeling time and space!

▶ Kid Spy's charm is overflowing, and you will always have persistence and problem-solving skills even in dead-end alleys!
Mack becomes more and more experienced as he carries out secret spy missions for the Queen of England. After completing his sixth mission and returning home to California, Mack has grown by an inch. Even in unfamiliar times and places, and in dead-end situations, Mack always finds a way to solve problems without panicking. The most important thing for a spy is none other than the will to achieve his goal. Whether he is on top of the Berlin TV Tower, hanging from a concrete wall with a floppy disk in his mouth, or standing on a wall looking for a way to escape, Mack always finds a 'method'. Readers will learn the importance of the attitude and process of solving problems hidden behind the fun of the story.
