Alfie Hazard and the Spy Cats: A Spy in the Embassy

A clever ten-year-old boy and his two savvy cats set out to catch a spy that’s causing trouble at the embassy they call home in the first installment of a fun new illustrated series for kids ages 8–10 from award-winning author Kekla Magoon. Features bright neon-green color effects on the cover!

Alfie Hazard is thrilled when his big sister, Mika, comes home from college to live with their family at the embassy in Washington, DC. Usually her visits mean endless games, lots of laughter, and spontaneous late-night dance parties, but this time there’s something strange about the way Mika is acting. Bonnie and Baxter, Alfie’s talented cats, detect a suspicious smell on her shoes, and she’s spending an unusual amount of time locked in her bedroom closet.

Mika definitely has a secret, and Alfie and the cats are determined to get to the bottom if it. When Alfie’s mom, the ambassador, tells the family that some classified documents have been stolen, it’s up to Alfie, Bonnie, and Baxter to investigate! Surely Mika couldn’t be the spy . . . or could she?

Featuring engaging black-and-white illustrations and two fabulous cat characters, this series is perfect for younger fans of spy stories, serving as the ideal bridge between chapter books and longer series like City Spies and Spy School.
