Mac Barnett, a natural storyteller, presents his first fairy tale!

Mac Barnett recently visited Korea. His works (mainly picture books) are already much loved by domestic fans.
And in June 2020, his autobiographical(?) children's book, 『Kid Spy』, was first published to Korean readers.
Unlike picture books that concisely convey the author's message within a relatively short volume, in 'Kid Spy' Mac Barnett fully displays his side as a 'storyteller'.
"Kid Spy" is his first children's book to be introduced in Korean, and his sparkling ideas and ingenious wit, already proven through numerous works, shine throughout "Kid Spy."
The surprising childhood of Mac Barnett, who was active as a spy rather than a writer, which had been kept hidden for so long, will be revealed in detail, so you can look forward to it.

Publisher's Review
Writer Mack vs. Kid Spy Mack
_ The Truth Game! How much of it is true?


Mac Barnett, who is widely known as a writer. But before becoming a writer, when Mac Barnett was a child, he was a secret spy for the Queen of England.
And during his time as a spy, he published [Kid Spy], which contains his adventures.
So! Is this true or false? Oh, the book is real! So was Mac Barnett really a spy? Mac Barnett "strongly" insists that everything, from beginning to end, is 100 percent true.
It's so serious that I can't help but laugh.
So, readers have no choice but to become captivated by the work, holding back laughter and wondering what is true and what is not.

A witty and lovable character, lively two-tone color!

[Kid Spy] The moment you see the cover, no reader will pass this book by.
Mike Lowery's illustrations have a captivating power, and Mac Barnett's lively wit and playful imagination literally take flight.
Mike Lowery brings these characters, who are so earnest yet somehow lacking in something, to life on paper in a way that couldn't be more perfect.
The slightly cynical and indifferent Queen of England, the French president with his always-same expression, KGB agents who are masters of disguise, both male and female, and even a Welsh Corgi with a charming heart-shaped butt.
The vibrant two-tone color combination of blue and fluorescent orange adds to the work's appeal.


Mystery and espionage never disappoint!

Mac, a boy who lives alone with his mother, has nothing special about him.
He is an ordinary boy you can see anywhere.
He is good at studying, but has no talent for sports.
Since I don't have any friends, I spend most of my time alone, whether at school or at home.
But one day, a phone call completely changes Mac's life.
Now, Mack travels the world carrying out secret missions as a spy! Though still young, Mack's reasoning is surprisingly meticulous, and his camouflage skills are also quite decent.
Above all, regardless of East or West, mystery, espionage, and the adventures that unfold within them guarantee spectacular spectacle and thrilling fun.


Enjoy a world tour from the comfort of your living room!

For readers who are unable to fully enjoy their upcoming summer vacation due to an unprecedented virus, this work introduces 'hot places' in England, France, and Russia.
As Mack sets out to find the lost royal treasure, the 'Spoon', at the request of the Queen of England, he can enjoy a safe and comfortable world tour from the comfort of his living room, including the 'Tower of London' in England, the 'Louvre Museum' and 'Arc de Triomphe' in France, and 'Lubyanka Square' and 'KGB Headquarters' in Moscow.
It's not just about seeing things, but it's also helpful for expanding your background knowledge because Mac, like a travel guide, tells you historical facts about the place in a way that makes them stick in your ears.
The subtle conflict between the United States and Britain, represented by biscuits and cookies, and the history of world hegemony, hidden messages through Mac Barnett's characteristic satire and humor, also provide meaning for forming a balanced view of history and values.
'Kid Spy' Mac's activities, which do not miss anything, whether fun or meaning, are full of wit until the very end, and even the introduction of the author and the corresponding introduction of the translator are full of wit.
