About the Books
Andrew Cope's Spy Dog series began with the story of Lara, Agent GM451, a mongrel who looks like an ordinary family pet but is secretly one of the Secret Service's most gifted operatives. The original run, including Spy Dog, Spy Dog 2, Spy Dog Super Brain, Spy Dog Unleashed, and Spy Dog: Rocket Rider, follows Lara as she teams up with the Cook family's children to outwit villains, crack codes, and foil daring plots, all while keeping her secret identity under wraps. The spin-off Spy Pups titles, Circus Act, Prison Break, and Treasure Quest, shift focus to Lara's own pups, Spud and Star, as they train to follow in their mother's paw prints. Spud is scatty and accident-prone but brilliant with gadgets, while Star is quick-witted and eager to prove herself, and together the pair tackles fresh cases involving circus intrigue, jailbreaks, and buried treasure. Across all eight books, the tone stays light and funny even as the stakes rise, with short chapters and illustrations that keep pages turning for developing readers. The series has become a firm favorite in homes and classrooms alike, prized for combining accessible language with genuinely exciting plots. This set gathers eight of those adventures into one paperback collection, ideal for reading in sequence or dipping into as a fun bedtime or classroom read.
