Owen Foote, Super Spy--by Stephanie Greene

This is a story about four second-graders named Owen, Joseph, Anthony, and Ben. Through detail and humor, Stephanie Greene gives us a superb story about four second-graders who want to become spies. I loved this book because it was humorous. Excellent. Five stars out of five stars.

IT'S SOOOO GREAT!!!!!!

I have read the two Owen Foote books that she has written so far and they are both ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!!!!!!! Even though I am 13 I have read both many times. The lessons in life they taught me are spectacular and I learned so much about how to be a nice homo sapien. I wish Stephanie would write many more books in this spectacular series!!!!!!!!!

I Think that this is a great sequel!!!

I am the authors son, Oliver who is meant to be the inspiration for her writing the Owen Foote series. I think that my mom is pretty good at understanding children like me and trying to write realistically. She does not know that I am writing this, but I hope one day she will see it. I remember the happy day when she sold the book, and I am proud for her. I think that all young soccer players will enjoy this book.
