Meet the Word Spy. She's dashing and daring and witty as can be – and no one knows more about the evolution of the English language than she does! Luckily, she's spilling her secrets in this gem of a book series. From the first alphabet in 4000 BC, to anagrams, palindromes, and modern-day text messages, readers will learn all about the fascinating twists and turns the English language has taken to become what it is today.

With playful black-and-white illustrations, riddles to solve, and codes to break, The Word Spy is definitive proof that words can spark the imagination and are anything but dull. This is a series for every aspiring writer and every true reader to savour. Readers who enjoy Nick Earls & Terry Whidborne's The Word Hunters trilogy will relish the linguistic adventures that the Word Spy has to offer.
