'A Girl's Guide to Spying' is inspired by the Girl Guides who worked for MI5 in the Fist World War. They, and this story continue to inspire us all today.

​

Annie, a Girl Guide, drags her unwilling bigger sister, Phyl, along to a meeting neither of them quite expecting the adventure of a lifetime which is to follow. Why has Annie done this? Phyl wants to support the war effort, the Girl Guides are doing just that and she's offered a job as an MI5 messenger! If only she could get the approval of the grumpy Major Warren. But then he disappears. Are the suspicions that he is a double agent correct?
