Author Mac Barnett was a spy before he was an author. He was a kid spy for the Queen of England. The Queen needs Mac to retrieve the precious Crown Jewels that were stolen. Mac must travel all over the world to retrieve the stolen artifacts.
The children's book was fully illustrated filled with fun facts and humor. I thought it was cute albeit a silly read at times. I think young readers would enjoy reading this series and seeing what trouble Mac can get into. I do want to note some of the cultural references were a bit dated or violent (the historical portion) for young readers.
