Agent Asha is back in the second installment of this action-packed spy adventure series.

Top-secret Children's Spy Agency newest recruit, Asha Joshi is back with a brand new mission. Asha is suspicious when evil teenage trillionaire Shelly Belly proposes to cut down all the trees in Asha’s favourite park to make room for CyberOaks: the new tech trees. Asha’s a top coder and super spy so she should be able to face robot security parrots, navigate a suspicious internship and travel to Shelly's super-confidential base in Scotland to crack the case. Will Asha and her robo-hamster sidekick Tumble be able to protect the park and save the day?

The story is a great way to engage young readers in coding and critical-thinking as it combines STEM with exciting adventures. It is mapped onto key National Curriculum Computing KS1 and KS2 concepts including algorithms, conditionals and debugging.

Chapter Sample

Wittily written, with high tech devices, coding and critical thinking, diagrams, charts, plus fart fun aplenty, and Priyanka Sachdev’s cyber-style illustrations, this is a great read for young eco-warriors, fans of gadgets, in fact anyone who enjoys a good crime caper. ~Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

“[…] you’re onto a winner. Critical thinking and critical fun all in one book!” ~Library Girl and Book Boy

“I was beyond excited to see someone who looked like me on the front cover of this book! Thinking back to my childhood favourites, it was not common to see a strong, Asian, female character at the forefront of adventures. This honestly gave me so much joy to read about family dynamics that were so similar to my own not to mention, being able to live out my own spy fantasy! Sophie Deen has managed to capture an interest in STEM which I felt was missing from my childhood. I can completely see how this book will resonate with children as they explore coding, science and adventure!” ~@RealReading
