Reviews

"The storylines will keep readers interested, and the historical setting and facts will make the stories come to life. Recommended."
Library Media Connection
"Jo Macauley presents young readers with an entertaining series in Secrets & Spies. . . .[the] fast-moving series is a great (and non-graphic) way to introduce young readers to this period in English history."
The Historical Novels Review, Historical Novel Society
"I liked this book because it was very descriptive and mysterious. I also liked that it always left me wondering what would happen next. I liked that no matter what happened, the friends always looked out for each other. I loved that Beth and her friends always wanted to stick and work together."
