Spymaster


Since there are so many children’s books about spies and adventure, and since Joe Craig writes about such things, we thought we’d see if the children would like a real hands on experience.

And who better to advise us than the Spymaster himself? Bob Richardson started writing “missions” for his children 8 years ago and they became so popular he began writing for other people’s children. He now has an activity centre in Bar Hill, Cambridge, where teams of spies have to decipher codes and collect top secret information in order to free the world!

To see for yourself please look at the website: http://www.spymasters.co.uk/

We are very excited that Bob has agreed to set up a mission in Linton Village College on Sunday 11th May where you and your team will have to return to the spymaster the answers to a series of puzzles that will take you all over the college. As you might expect some of the puzzles will have a literary feel and it will be worth your while reading the books of the authors taking part in the book festival!

The mission briefing will be in the Pegasus Room and teams will set off 10 minutes apart. You will need to keep your wits about you and observe your surroundings carefully – just like a real spy.

The winning team will receive prizes galore and everyone will get a Spymaster pen and notepad.
