The Spying Game (Novel)

By Pat Moon

Book Overview

Why should the man who killed Joe's father be walking around as if nothing happened? Loathing and anger build up so much inside Joe that he begins a secret campaign against Mr. Moss, his father's killer. He starts with spying, but then goes further: a scratch on the side of his car, anonymous hate mail, a little graffiti. Nothing major, but just enough for Mr. Moss to know someone is watching -- all the time.An engrossing look at the anger that comes with grief, this novel was shortlisted for the Guardian Award for Children's Literature in England.
