Description
Schoolboy turns secret agent in this hilarious spy spoof!
Before you read this, I want you to carefully check that no-one is reading over your shoulder - go ahead, do it now.
First off, that was terrible - really obvious. If I'm going to tell you top secret government information, you're going to have to be a bit more stealthy. Try again.
Was anyone looking? No? Right, then I'll begin.
This year the secret service made a major mix up, they mistook a 13-year-old boy called Kevin for a secret agent (I know, so much for an 'intelligence' agency). This was the sort of kid that would try and zip wire across a building and end up falling head first into a fountain with his bum on show, so can you imagine what happened when he was allowed access to the amazing sort of spy gadgets that James Bond would use?
Despite this, it was up to Kevin to save us all from an evil supervillain. It was the most dangerous, daring mission in the history of the secret service, and also its biggest blunder.
This top secret book uncovers the entire story of Kevin's fateful and hilarious mission.
