Bill thinks his neighbor is a spy. His friend Jack is not convinced. Eventually, they find out the answer.

Quick Summary

A young boy becomes convinced his mysterious new neighbor is a secret agent, launching an hilariously obsessive surveillance operation that turns an ordinary neighborhood into a playground of suspicion. Kids will devour the back-and-forth between Bill's wild spy theories and Jack's skeptical logic, especially when the surprising twist reveals the neighbor's actual unexpected identity. If your kid loves the mystery solving and humor of "Encyclopedia Brown" or the small-town secrets in "Holes," they'll be hooked on this quick mystery.
