ESPIONAGE CENTRAL: JANE BLOND!

ESPIONAGE CENRAL: JANE BLOND!

JILL MARSHALL

THIS SERIES SKEWS A LITTLE YOUNGER THAN EVEN THE REGULAR Y/A ENTRIES ON BISH’S BEAT, BUT THIS BRITISH KIM POSSIBLE (ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARTOON SPY SERIES) TYPE SERIES HAS A CERTAIN APPEAL . . .


SENSATIONAL SPYLET!

Janey Brown feels like she is practically invisible. With her stick-thin legs, mousy brown hair and grey eyes, no one ever notices her. Then a crazy woman turns up at the school gates, claiming to be Janey's godmother. According to hip-hop-talking, larger-then-life 'G-Mamma', Janey Brown really is something special. She's Jane Blonde, Sensational Spylet - and it's time for her first mission...Swapping her too-big school uniform for a silver spysuit, and her battered satchel for a set of amazing gadgets, Janey soon discovers that nothing in her life, or in her past, is as it seems. Her elusive Uncle Solomon happens to be the head of SPI (Solomon's Politicational Investigations) and the greatest spy the world has ever known. Recruited by the government to work on top-secret Project Crystal Clear, Solomon has made a scientific discovery that could change the world. But now he's gone missing. Can Jane Blonde get to him first? Or will The Snerlesse, a rogue spying group with evil purposes (and a very nasty dog), hunt him down and take his secret?

SPIES TROUBLE!

Janey Brown just completed her first mission as Jane Blonde, Sensational Spylet. Now the kitty-knapping of her spy-cat, Trouble, launches her into another incredible investigation! A group of crazed scientists believe they have discovered the secret to a cat's nine lives - but they need Trouble for their experiments. All the clues lead Janey down a manhole - defeating the enemy is going to be a wet and stinky business! But with chewing gum that lets her breathe underwater, a tracking device called a SPIpod and a high-speed mini-hoverboard - as well her natural code-cracking expertise - Jane Blonde is ready for action...

TWICE THE SPYLET!

Jane Blonde, Sensational Spylet is seeing double on her third incredible mission! Janey Brown thought she was an only child. Now Joanie has turned up claiming to be Janeys secret twin! But when Jane Blonde is posted to Australia to investigate a suspicious sheep farm, it becomes clear that Joanie isnt quite what she seems. Has Janey exposed an undercover cloning operation? Soon Janeys dodging more than boomerangs: there are multispies on the looseincluding Jane Blondes own evil twin!

SPYLET ON ICE!

Janey is off to hone her Spylet skills at SPIcamp. There are gadgets galore at the secret facility and there's even a snow dome to train in! Then the team is whisked off to investigate suspicious activity at the South Pole, and Janey comes face to face with her arch-nemesis, Copernicus. He has discovered a precious mineral at the earth's core and he longs to possess it . . . Jane Blonde (helped by a robotic penguin called Spudnik) is our planet's only hope!

THE PERFECT SPYLET!

When Janey is given access to a secret shop for spies, she's in spylet-heaven! And with some particularly nasty little spylets on the loose, it's lucky Janey's kitted out with the latest spy-gear! Produced for World Book Day.

Janey is delighted when she is granted a dazzling golden spysuit. But things get deadly serious when her investigations lead her to a shocking discovery...Her arch enemy has developed a terrible, giant 'Lazy Beam' which he is directing at Earth from a secret space station! No one has the strength to resist its zapping power – but the Golden Spy will have to do just that to stop her arch enemy taking over the world.

SPY IN THE SKY!

When Jane Blonde becomes a sky-diving sensation shes on cloud nine! But her flying skills are put to the test when a flock of freaky creatures takes to the air. Can Blonde bring down the enemy before shes blasted out of the skies?
