England's Secret Intelligence Organisation, S.H.H. (Strictly Hush-Hush), is composed of several departments which are scattered over the capital city in undisclosed locations. Behind the facade of a seemingly ordinary bed and breakfast hotel in Pimlico, reside the offices of P.S.S.T. (Pursuit of Scheming Spies and Traitors). Dawn finds herself drawn in to an amazing world when she is enlisted by S.H.H. to find a spy missing in action. No ordinary spy drama, this wonderful book is full of charm, surprises and invention.

About the Author:
This is Anna Dale's second book for Bloomsbury. Whispering to Witches, her first book, sold in twenty-five languages. Anna Dale lives in Southampton.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6–Dawn Buckle, 11, is so ordinary that even her parents frequently fail to notice her. This invisibility pays off when a top-secret spy organization called P.S.S.T. recruits her for an important rescue mission. She must learn the tools of the spy trade and then go undercover in a small English village to track down criminal mastermind Murdo Meek. Bumbling spies, numerous mishaps, and a jumble of acronyms–spy agencies called S.H.H., A.H.E.M., and C.O.O.E.E.–contribute to the story's light, humorous tone. The bad guys don't kill people; they just kidnap them, lock them up, exploit their phobias, or knock them off ladders. There is a large cast of colorful characters but, except for the protagonist, few are particularly well developed. The story also gets off to a slow start; the mission doesn't actually begin until almost halfway into the novel. Still, mystery lovers should enjoy following the clues and observing Dawn's development as she becomes more confident and self-assured. Plenty of challenging vocabulary will also make this a good choice for precocious readers who want a book without mature themes.–Miranda Doyle, San Francisco Public Library
