The Spy Dog files by Andrew Cope


I’ve been glued to Britain’s Got Talent this year. I particularly love the acts who think they’re great but


who are actually so rubbish and embarrassing that I end up watching from behind the sofa. Scary stuff indeed! Some of the animal acts are particularly dire. Did you see the guitar-playing dog that couldn’t actually play the guitar? Or the talking parrot that wouldn’t talk? Or the dancing pigs


that couldn’t dance? Or the horse that did a poo on stage?


Maybe I should enter Britain’s Got Talent. Because I’ve got a Spy Dog that doesn’t spy! If there was a programme called Rubbish Pets or Pets Who Laze Around The House And Do Absolutely Nothing then


I’d


Joseph Grimaldi was a famous clown who was as popular in the early 1800s as film stars and pop singers are today!


she’s a sure-fire champ!


Luckily, being an author is the best job in the world because


I get to use my imagination. What if my pet did have a talent? Something so awesome that I thought the world should know about it. In my brand new book Spy Pups: Circus Act, the dogs find themselves putting their supreme talents on display. The new book takes them on a dangerous mission to seek out some baddies in a circus. So they have to perform!


Cue lots of mayhem, some juggling, tightrope walking, an angry lion, sniffing out danger and a bizarre chase that involves an ice cream van... sorry, can’t tell you any more. Top secret!


rather go to the circus and watch clowns getting custard pies in the face than go to a pop concert any day!


I hope you enjoy reading Spy Pups: Circus Act as much as I enjoyed writing it.


Happy reading!
