Liar & Spy by Rebecca Stead
5.0
What a delightful story! I heard about this book at a presentation night and I have finally got round to reading it. Now I want to get my hands on everything by Rebecca Stead.
Georges and Safer are kids that I'd love to meet. They are witty, caring and totally lovable. I loved getting to know them, and follow them on their spy adventure as they tried to figure out what Mr X was doing with all those suitcases.
There were so many heart warming moments and one of them was when we heard the story of how Safer and his siblings got their interesting names. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though, there were other issues going on at home with both Safer and Georges, which we slowly start to realise what is going on behind the scenes.
This is a story about friendship, families, growing up and discovering yourself. I know this is a middle grade book but adults will enjoy reading this too, share it with your children.
