Autor Bruce Haleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mar 2017 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
How
well
do
you
know
the
lunch
servers
at
your
school?
Sure,
they
seem
like
nice
people,
but
what
if
secretly
they
are
something
much,
much
weirder?
Best
friends
Carlos
and
Benny,
who
just
saved
their
teacher
from
becoming
a
were-hyena,
have
been
called
upon
to
investigate
the
strange
goings-on
in
the
cafeteria.
Why
are
the
lunch
ladies
suddenly
so
grumpy?
Why
are
the
girls'
meals
different
from
the
boys'?
And
what
was
thatthingseen
scuttling
around
the
kitchen
wearing
an
apron?
It's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
courage--and
more
than
an
industrial
size
can
of
Raid--for
the
boys
to
avoid
extermination
in
this
buggy
adventure.

PRAISE
FOR
PLAYING
WITH
FIRE
"The book has nonstop action, clear detailed descriptions, and a plot that's easy to follow. . . . a good introduction to the genre."—School Library Journal
PRAISE FOR ENDS OF THE EARTH
"Billed on the jacket blurb as the "climactic series finale," this third book in the School for S.P.I.E.S. series nonetheless leaves the door slightly ajar for further adventures in a possible spinoff, with Max now firmly teamed up with his father and Hantai Annie's identity still ambiguous. Keeping that hope alive will make the satisfying end to this series more palatable for fans who hate to let go. . ."—Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books
PRAISE FOR PLAYING WITH FIRE
"Between training exercises, Max's search for his father, secret missions, and double agents the action never stops. This book will appeal to both boys and girls. Characters are diverse and well thought out. The School for S.P.I.E.S. series will be a winner. Highly recommended"—Library Media Connection
PRAISE FOR PLAYING WITH FIRE
"Amid police chases, robbery attempts, lock picking plus breaking and entering, Max, to his surprise, will discover what friendship and family really mean. This is a compelling read with warmth and humor. Illustrations add wonderfully to the suspenseful plot. Well recommended."—Childrens Literature
PRAISE FOR PLAYING WITH FIRE
"Hale threads the narrative with colorful metaphors and throwaway lines and festoons it with high- and low-tech tools of spycraft. One character's sudden murder aside, the tone is mostly light, with family issues and conflicting loyalties (driven by troubling revelations about Max's dad) for added texture.This lightweight kid-spy romp should find some eager readers."—Kirkus Reviews
