 The Pirate Manual is a treasure chest for all budding pirates between 7 and 11 years. It explains how to make pirate things such as cannons and telescopes. It shows what pirates must wear - from arm hooks, eye patches and earrings to three-cornered hats and make-up. It looks at ships, weapons, facts and legends. It explains parts of a pirate ship, flags, knots and nautical expressions. It shows how to make pirate's puddin' as well as cakes, maggots on tack, tiddlers' scramble and pirate punch.
Designed in a lively style, with great images and plenty of jokes and 'Did you knows', it brings the classic Haynes step-by-steps to children in a friendly and approachable format.
 The Spy Manual reveals the hush-hush world of espionage and explains how to be a brilliant secret agent. To train to be a spy, youngsters must get someone they trust to buy them this book and then guard it with their life - it must not fall into enemy hands. Then, by reading it covertly, they can learn about hidden pockets, disguises and invisible inks. Budding undercover agents will be able to send messages in code, find special hiding places and secretly observe unusual goings on. Importantly, they will protect their bedroom, make their own spy toolkit and arrange special parties for secret agents.
Never before has the undercover world of international espionage been revealed in this way. The Spy Manual has loads of tricks to impress friends and family plus many games and challenges. Great step-by-step photos and entertaining text will appeal to all 7-11 year olds.
