The Secret Agent Training Manual is a book written by Elizabeth Singer Hunt. I really enjoyed this manual! This book has different codes in it, like Morse code, hiding-your-message-in-a-magazine-article code, Caesar cipher, zig-zag cipher, Atbash cipher, miniature message code, and anagrams. Speaking of anagrams, I especially liked that part of the book. Here is an example: unscramble the following: EM, OTY, TROSE, and OUY are the anagrams. ME, TOY, STORE, and YOU are the answers. (Don’t know how to unscramble anagrams? Look in this book.) Here’s another type of code I learned about by reading this book: mirror writing. Mirror writing is writing spelled backwards. You know why it is called mirror writing? It is because if you hold it up in a mirror, you will see the correct message. When you think about codes, ciphers, decoding, deciphering, encoding, and enciphering, you might think of secret agents and spies. Secret agents and spies use codes so that the guilty people don’t read what they are saying. Kids who love codes and ciphers will enjoy this book.
