Description
A thrilling, mysterious and very, very funny new adventure from the award-winning author of Einstein the Penguin, with brilliant illustrations from bestseller David Tazzyman.
Cecily Sawyer: How To Be a Spy takes you on an exciting journey with Cecily Sawyer, who has spent her evening in the attic, training her pet mouse, Mrs Maple Syrup – an unusually intelligent mouse, in Cecily’s opinion – when her parents mysteriously disappear.
Luckily, Cecily is more than ready to investigate such a mysterious event. She has aspired to be a spy her whole life and is equipped with all the spy handbooks, manuals, and code-cracking kits a girl could need.
As Cecily delves into the mystery, she discovers several very strange things in her city. She’s not the only spy out there – far from it, in fact. And Mrs Maple Syrup is not the only unusually intelligent mouse…

About the Author
Iona Rangeley has just finished studying English at Oxford. She has wanted to be a writer since her debut novel Sam and the Pig, which she wrote when she was five. Iona starting writing Einstein the Penguin when her final exams came along, because it was more fun. David Tazzyman is an internationally acclaimed award-wining illustrator. Born and raised in Leicester, David wanted to be an artist since the age of five. Graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1993, he worked as a commercial illustrator before falling into children's publishing in 2006, illustrating Andy Stanton's Mr Gum series, which went on to win numerous awards, including the first Roald Dahl Funny Prize. David likes drawing a lot. He also likes football, cricket, golf and biscuits.
