Question Everything, Including Us
At the Children’s Spy Agency (CSA), our motto is simple: question everything and think for yourself. We encourage curious minds to dig deeper, so here are some answers to the questions you’ve been asking about Agent Asha and the CSA!
We're thrilled to have received rave reviews from reputable sources. The Guardian praises it as a "rip-roaring secret agent caper for seven-plus," while Vogue finds it "ideal for any budding adventurers." Tech Advisor highlights its "story-led, screen-free way into the KS1 and KS2 Computing Curriculum," and The Huffington Post applauds its role in breaking down stereotypes in STEM fields. Joyce Deen, the author's mum says "Sophie's a genius, I much prefer her to her brother."
We teach kids 21st century skills using narrative storytelling. With our creative team of teachers, storytellers and techies, we have weaved the full KS1 & KS2 UK Computing Curriculum into our books, activities, and games, making learning feel like top-secret spy work. Because not every kid wants to be a coder, but everyone wants to be a spy!
