Iona Rangeley has been profiled by WRD Magazine to discuss her latest thrilling middle-grade spy novel, Cecily Sawyer: How to Crack a Code.

In the review, which you can read in full here, Iona discusses the “historical tidbits” scattered throughout the book and how she took inspiration from World War 2 spying techniques.

Cecily Sawyer is surrounded by spies. They’re everywhere – on the streets, in her home, at her school – and after intercepting a highly suspicious message intended for her parents (also spies), Cecily, along with her highly-intelligent pet mouse, Mrs Maple Syrup, decides to investigate.​

And the more that Cecily digs, the further the mystery deepens … forcing her to question who – if anyone – she can really trust.

Cecily Sawyer: How to Crack a Code, is out now. Get your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or bookshop.org.
