Summary

Watch out, supervillains. There's a new spy in town . . .

Secret Agent 00 Elephant has struggled through his secret service tests and how he's ready to take on his first spy mission: to find feline supervillain Vincent le Morte and stop him from destroying the world.

He just needs to stay away from those mini pizzas . . .

Good luck, Agent Elephant. The world is counting on you.

AND REMEMBER: DO NOT GET DISTRACTED BY THE MINI-PIZZAS!

Author Biography

Eoin McLaughlin was born in Ireland and has since lived in locations as far-flung and varied as London, Hong Kong, Reigate, Tokyo, York, New York, Oxford, Amsterdam, Newcastle and Watford. He now lives in Surrey with his wife and their young son. A childhood spent obsessing about becoming a spy inspired Eoin to write the story of Secret Agent Elephant - and he ate a lot of mini pizzas in order to get into the mindset of his elephant hero. Secret Agent Elephant is Eoin's second picture book, following The Hug, illustrated by Polly Dunbar.
