Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale!
Izzy is really pleased to have been put in charge of the new girl at school. Mathilde is French, and Izzy and her friends can’t wait to show her their den and its moth, and to help her avoid the school dinners (also known as poison). But Mathilde LOVES school dinners and even has seconds…
And that’s when they know that Mathilde is a SPY and she has come to find out their SECRETS. They must stop her before it’s TOO LATE!

Praise for Izzy and friends:
""Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham’s zany pictures make the series an absolute must."" – The Bookseller
""Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers."" – Sunday Times

The second book in the ‘Baby Aliens’ series. This book is very funny and like the others in the series it’s very easy to read and good fun to read out loud.
So funny
It was big and I liked it
I loved this book, and I would recommend this book to 4+ children.
It is a lovely read and packed full of excitement.
I think it is funny how they think that Mathida is a spy.
I would recommend it!
Mathilde first was a bit cheeky, but in the end she was not; and she told her friend that she was a bit sad, that's why she didn't want to say anything to them.
After I read the book, I feel happy and excited.
I loved it! It's my favourite book!
My favourite character is Izzy.
I would recommend to a friend!
I liked it because I like spying and it’s about someone who thinks another person is a spy.
I liked it because I was interested about the French new girl who’s name was Matilde.
Maisie is my favourite character because she is funny. My favourite part of the book was tha they tried to find out that Matilde is a spy but they are wrong. I would recommend this to my friends.
Very adventurous and funny
it was ok
There is a very good plot twist.
A brilliant mystery!
It was mysterious and funny.
It was a good book and I liked it very much!
This book was very funny!
It is about what happens when a mysterious new girl from france moves into Izzy's class and when Izzy, Josie, Maisie and Zach are convinced she is a spy!
My favourite character was Josy or Mathilde and my favourite bit was when they went to maisies house.
I would reccomend this book to 8-12 year olds and I would give it 5 stars
super
Took a long time to read but Really Funny
It was interesting because she was Italian and also the only one who loves shepherds pie ! I would definitely recommend this book
It was a very nice book about a girl called Mathilde who is known to be a shepherd pie spy, a spy boss and a friend. Mathilde because she felt homesick and wanted to go home but she delt with it. Yes I would about age 7-any age
a frech girl was a new student in Izzys school.
Amazing. I fell in love with this series ever since reading Pamela Butcharts book “Aliens got my teacher!” I only have 3 books left to complete this series and so far have read 8. This book is in my opinion most suitable for 7-11 year olds.It was super funny and made me have a good laugh. I would recommend reading if you like David walliams
great book - I love Maise
My favourite character is Maisy because is very smart. I loved the part when they had to eat ice cream to survive and Maisy was sick and her vomit was pink!
This story really made me laugh because I didn't think Izzy and her friends would actually get stuck in a van. I really loved how passionate Izzy was to be Matilda's friend. I would definitely recommend this to someone!
Thos book was a story about four children who had to save their school from a spy who was a child from France. Izzy wanted to make friends with the spy, new girl Mathilde bur she wasn't sure. By the end they had become friends but Mathilde had to go back to France. The four characters were interesting. The characters were bright and happy, this made me enjoy it.
I enjoyed the book as it's about Spies and how they find out Mathilde secert.
Not that bad
It's a good exciting book. It's about a girl called Izzy who thinks a spy is coming to her school and she keeps on watching the spy. I like Izzy as she always thinks that something big is just about to happen!
I would recommend this book to age 8+.
