Reviewed by Jenny Heslop
Puppy Alert is part of the EJ
Spy School series, written for beginner readers based on a McFarlane's well
established and popular EJ12 Girl Hero series. This younger version goes
back two years earlier, to when Emma was recruited and trained for work in the
Shine Agency.
The EJ Spy School
series incorporates large, easy font, short chapters, subjects which appeal to
young girls and simple story lines which take place over a short time period,
all features which make this series a good starting point for beginner readers
who would like to join in EJ12's exciting world of missions, adventure, fun and
animal rescues.
The illustrations
are sweet and do more than just decorate and break up the text for easier
reading. They also work with the text conveying meaning not stated in words.
This helps to build a bridge between picture books young readers are used to,
and the chapter books they are striving for.
