Praise for Mickey and the Animal Spies:

A spy who stands out from the crowd.

The Telegraph

A fast-paced mystery full of sparky wit... [with] lots of actual puzzles and codes for children to solve.

BookTrust

Anne Miller's book is a fun way to show how humans and animals can get on together.

The Express

Se alle

An entertaining, crazy caper for all animal lovers and budding spies... Better still, it's interactive!

Konnie Huq

An absolute must for all curious enquiring minds.

Stephen Fry

Reviews of Mickey and the Animal Spies:

This debut story for children by Anne Miller is a fast-paced mystery full of sparky wit and has lots of actual puzzles and codes for children to solve. Each character has depth and personality (Tilda the sloth is a joy) so not only will children become immersed in a jaunty adventure, they'll also feel like a fully signed-up member of a very special and friendly spy club too.

BookTrust

This book is an utter joy to read, with its fast-paced, imaginative plot, driven along by short snappy chapters. The idea of a secret service agency run by animals seems completely feasible due to the skilful writing of Anne Miller, and the black and white illustrations by Becka Moor (who has worked on many children's books) are a perfect complement to the text. The explanations of Mickey's code-breaking techniques will be fascinating to children, and are a nice introduction to cyber security which is touched on in the primary school computing curriculum.

V's View from the Bookshelves

Codes to crack, puzzles to solve, mysteries to uncover - there is never a dull moment in the life of a spy. And that is exactly what Mickey does: she is the only human operative in the secret animal spy agency COBRA. Mickey's previous adventures with the Animal Spies proved she is not only smart but also trustworthy - it's a great honour for Mickey, as the Animal Spies do not work with humans. But when human spies start disappearing under suspicious circumstances, Mickey feels it's her responsibility to discover what is happening. In Mickey and the Missing Spy, it is up to Mickey to unite the human and animal world of espionage for the very first time, in order to save her hero and top spy, Hildegarde McTavish!

But the Animal Spies do not meddle in human affairs - will Mickey be able to bridge the gap between human and animal spies?
