The Spy Who Loved School Dinners
Pamela Butchart, Thomas Flintham
The second in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers. Winner of the Blue Peter Book Award 2015 Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale! Izzy is really pleased to have been put in charge of the new girl at school. Mathilde is French, and Izzy and her friends can't wait to show her their den and its moth, and to help her avoid the school dinners (also known as poison). But Mathilde LOVES school dinners and even has seconds... And that's when they know that Mathilde is a SPY and she has come to find out their SECRETS. They must stop her before it's TOO LATE! Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?

Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham's zany pictures make the series an absolute must."" - The Bookseller ""Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers."" - Sunday Times

I think it is funny how they think that Mathida is a spy. I would recommend it!
Coach Cello Mystery 29.08.2024

Mathilde first was a bit cheeky, but in the end she was not; and she told her friend that she was a bit sad, that's why she didn't want to say anything to them. After I read the book, I feel happy and excited.

I liked it because I like spying and it’s about someone who thinks another person is a spy.

Maisie is my favourite character because she is funny. My favourite part of the book was tha they tried to find out that Matilde is a spy but they are wrong. I would recommend this to my friends.

This book was very funny! It is about what happens when a mysterious new girl from france moves into Izzy's class and when Izzy, Josie, Maisie and Zach are convinced she is a spy! My favourite character was Josy or Mathilde and my favourite bit was when they went to maisies house. I would reccomend this book to 8-12 year olds and I would give it 5 stars

It was a very nice book about a girl called Mathilde who is known to be a shepherd pie spy, a spy boss and a friend. Mathilde because she felt homesick and wanted to go home but she delt with it. Yes I would about age 7-any age
