Gr 2-5–Mac, kid spy international, is back! On special assignment from the Queen of England herself, Mac drops everything back in the United States to assist in a missing raven caper in which the Russians may be involved. This short chapter book, with a familiar graphic style from previous volumes, does not disappoint. Mac travels all the way to Iceland to track down spies and the Queen’s beloved corgis somehow get entangled in the adventures as well. Silly high jinks ensue as Mac saves the day in this third installment.
VERDICT Highly recommended for fans of the series, this title features more of the wacky humor they have come to expect.
