 Wake Up! You're a Secret Agent! September 11, 2007
I found this on my library's "new books" shelf, and my boy and I loved it. Great for kids as young as 3-4 (like mien), up to maybe 9-10?
Jack is a boy who wakes up to discover he is a secret agent. Some crooks have stolen the Mona Lisa, and he must use his gadgets and his wits to get it back. (Actually, Jack's probably just sleeping. ... Or is he?) We liked it so much, we'll buy another copy for the birthday of my boy's pal, named Jack. (BTW, kids who like this book might also enjoy "Agent A to Agent Z".)
We read it again this morning at breakfast, and we both agreed Meghan McCarthy should turn this into a series. Jack is a great adventure character for young kids, and those are very hard to find. Tintin is way too old. Dora is fine if you're 2 or 3, and maybe Diego to 4, but they're too didactic, constrained, and nowhere near as fun as Jack. Please, Meghan, give us another!
