    This book discusses the world of digital dangers that spies would encounter when working with such tools as lasers, robots, drones, computer software, satellites, etc.      
    The content choice for this book was nicely chosen for young readers. It contained information that was interesting and not commonly found in other books on this topic.
  This text is clearly written and fully illustrated with an easy to read style. The inclusion of where to obtain more information on the Internet, career information, bibliography, web sites,  and an index make this a useful research tool.
     After the importance of an informative text, the most supportive factor of this book is visual appeal to young readers.  The layout of the various pages is diversified and well balanced between text and color photographs so that concepts are grouped together.  The flow and balance of both the text and visuals are integrated to present a very stimulating book for both young and reluctant readers.
The use of various background colors and distinctive boxes to highlight different topics are quite effective.
