George is spy-crazy-at home - he sleuths around to his heart's content with all sorts of gadgets and at school with his mate Stan,and he runs a spy club with a secret language, codes, a spy magazine and special missions. The suspicious behaviour of his drama teacher and the hold-up of the bank by a mysterious granny give George a real challenge; can he piece it all together? And what will he do when discovers a sinister plot to take over the country? Here are poems that can be read as stand-alone pieces but that also form humorous and fun storylines. With lots of variety in design and content, including plenty of different types of poem such as haiku, acrostics, diary poems and shape poems, this is a book with much direct appeal to children that can also be used as a resource by teachers.
