October is a month of disguise and intrigue. Usually the disguise is in the form of familiar costumes worn on the final day of the month. Usually the intrigue is the night before, in the form of smashed pumpkins, toilet paper rolls run amok and egg yolks festooning houses. But you won’t find any reads about Halloween or Devil’s Night here. This month our disguise and intrigue will be provided by…SPIES. I know. I shouldn’t have said that loudly. Someone might be listening. What can I say, kids are fascinated by spies, whether it be the gadgets, the codes, the access to secrets or perhaps the disguise and intrigue. All this month we’ll be going undercover (I’m sorry, I’m sorry terrible pun) so get your decoder ring, your magnifying glass and your fake mustache.
Okay what do you think? Did I sell it? Did it seem like I had a real reason for making October Spy Month or could you tell it was really just a flimsy excuse to review 
Any excuse to read is a good excuse!
You are doing Harriet the Spy, right?
Yes!!! I promise I’ll get it in before the end of the month.
