This title is the winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. Georges (the s is silent) has a lot going on. He’s having trouble with some boys at school, his dad lost his job and so his mum has started working all the time – and they have to sell their house and move into an apartment. But moving into the apartment block does bring one good thing – Safer, an unusual boy who lives on the top floor. He runs a spy club, and is determined to teach Georges everything he knows. Their current case is to spy on the mysterious Mr X in the apartment above Georges. But as Georges and Safer go deeper into their Mr X plan, the line between games, lies, and reality begin to blur.
Reviews
The story was good, I liked it but I I was confused as to why George had an s at the end of his name. He was my favourite character. I would recommend this book.
