Gr. 4-7. Who better to serve as a spy than a girl that no one ever notices? Eleven-year-old Dawn Buckle is virtually invisible to those around her, but she does catch the attention of a member of British agency S. H. H. (Strictly Hush-Hush) and is selected to serve as a child spy for the P. S. S. T. division (Pursuit of Scheming Spies and Traitors). Dawn and the agency's secretary are deployed to the village of Cherry Bently to locate a missing spy and an evil criminal, Murdo Meek. Dawn trades in her drab dress, including her trademark mushroom-colored socks, for a new wardrobe and a new name, but sneaks along one personal belonging, her beloved stuffed donkey, Clop, whose bravery and sacrifice aids the detective process, making him an endearing inanimate hero. The pacing drags in places, and readers will have to reconcile the young stuffed-animal-carrying protagonist with the sophisticated vocabulary and complicated plot jumps. Dawn's growth in self-esteem and confidence is believable, and the secondary characters are unique. Young mystery fans will also enjoy playing with the codes she employs. Cindy Dobrez
