Crack open secret files and read about the mysterious Ghost Army, rat bombs, and doodlebugs. Discover famous spies like the White Mouse, super-agent Garbo, and baseball player and spy, Moe Berg. Then build your own fingerprint kit and crack a spy code. It's all part of the true stories from the Top Secret Files: World War II. Take a look if you dare, but be careful! Some secrets are meant to stay hidden . . .

Reviews / Votes
Teachers could use Bearce's books as motivation for the textbook because her books will allow students to enjoy in-the-moment what they have to study later. The stories are so entertaining that it doesn't feel like studying, although they will enjoy learning in spite of themselves. And if educators who use these books are successful, our children will ask for more . . . I think it is hard for a 14 year old to feel as older people do who lived through the war. That's why it is so important to have our students become very involved in these books. I know of no other books about the war that could bring generations together!,Elaine S. Weiner,Gifted Education Communicator, 1/1/15Throughout this well-written and fact filled book, the author does a fine job of presenting some of the most amazing espionage efforts in the costliest war in human history. Bearce also provides readers with some projects linked to the spy stories presented, such as step-by-step instructions on how to write a code, create a book safe, or hide messages. This approach results in an informative book that also offers a hands-on learning experience.,Greg M. Romaneck,Children's Literature, 5/1/15
