A message from Devon

Sooner or later, every girl needs to do a little spying.

Why is your sister acting strangely?

What is that sneaky boy hiding in his backpack?

To find out, you need skills. Spy skills.

And I’m just the girl to teach you.

I’m Devon Danby and I’m a spy. Well, actually, I’m not REALLY Devon Danby. That’s a fake name. But the spy part is true.

My spy training started in third grade. I went to special spy classes every day after school and on weekends. Imagine all the fun times I missed out on!

Luckily, you don’t have to worry about any of that. I’ve packed all my BEST spy skills into this one little book.

Once you’ve learned these basic skills, be sure to share them with your best Spygirl friends!

Here’s my #1 tip: always be sure to keep yourself and your Spygirl friends safe. If something or someone seems really dangerous or scary, be sure to talk to an adult. That’s what I do.

Now, on to your training… 

Why spy?

The truth is, most people spy everyday.

Do you notice where your dad hides his favourite cookies? Do you know what time your mom takes her shower? Do you know which way your friend walks home from school?

That’s like spying. Only spying is much more than that.

When you spy, you make a plan to find out information.

Who to watch. When to watch. What’s important and what’s not.

Sometimes, you can spy on your own. But most of the time, it’s easier to have another Spygirl help you out.

And more fun, too!

Spy words

Let’s start by going over some important spy words.
