Read an exclusive extract from Alice Éclair, Spy Extraordinaire! A Spoonful of Spying by Sarah Todd Taylor

This month we’re absolutely thrilled to be publishing Alice Éclair, Spy Extraordinaire! A Spoonful of Spying – the second in a delectable new series for 9+ readers by Sarah Todd Taylor.

Inventors and artists have gathered in Paris for the World Fair. All eyes are on the aeroplane exhibition – these incredible machines will take humanity to new heights! Alice suspects that some of these inventors are in terrible danger, but no one will believe her. Surrounded by enemy spies, Alice will need to use every trick in the recipe book if she’s to keep her friends safe and stop France’s greatest invention from falling into the wrong hands.

With a half-baked plan and a dash of daring, Alice must foil the enemy’s plot before the whole thing boils over…

And today we’re very pleased to be sharing the first few chapters of the book – you can read an extract below!
