This book is really good because it is about teamwork. Shakespeare and his family work together to capture the diamond thieves.


The best part of the story is when Shakespeare saves the day but gets catnapped so his family help him get out.

I read this for a junior fiction award at work, and actually really ejoyed it. It was a fast-paced story with appropriate levels of action for the age group and the plot wasn't too outlandish.
I haven't read the first Spy Cat story of any of the Spy Dogs series, apart from brief references to other characters, I didn't feel this was a must. Blackout worked pretty well as a stand alone story.

I think this series would be a good bridge between younger and slightly older juior fiction; for example this to Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series.

4/5*

Gabe enjoyed the story about a cat who's a new spy. The plot was pretty simple. It's a fine beginner book for young readers.
