Ten-year-old Annalynn just wants to be a spy for the most unusual spy agency in the world.

But her first mission is nothing like a “normal” spy mission. Instead, four enemy spies steal a single box of tissues, and her new boss seems to think Annalynn’s the one to get the tissues back!

Her country needs her, but does she have what it takes to enter a foreign country in disguise and steal back the box of tissues?

Join Annalynn as she embarks on an adventure of a lifetime as she learns how to fly her out-of-control jet, faces off against a berserk Moose, has to dress up like an Opera Singer, and finds out that thumb tacks are her enemy.

Laugh your way through this Amazon Teacher's Pick series starter in the first book in the AtCS Series: Terrible Tissues!

Shawn P. B. Robinson hails from the Great White North, and he suspects his dislike of cold and snow is part of what drives him to immerse himself in other worlds. Whether he’s writing epic fantasy or middle-grade humor, he passionately pours his heart into his writing, seeking to create characters that we can all relate to and stories that engage the heart and soul.

In Shawn’s early 40s, he contracted a viral infection in his brain (encephalitis) which left him unable to work a normal job, but able to write when he has energy. In the midst of such loss, Shawn’s family, faith, and writing have brought joy to his heart and continue to motivate him.

Shawn continues to make his home in SW Ontario with his beautiful wife and two sons.

2 men & 2 women break into Annalynn's home & steal a box of tissues.
Her mom, dad, & brother are furious because they are really sick.
Annalynn (10) has just been hired as a Canadian spy.
She has to dress up like an Opera Singer to get back the tissues.
What else will she encounter?
Will Annalynn be able to complete her mission?

I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.

An awesome book cover, & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (MS age) spy adventure storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s spy adventure movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed Annalynn the Canadian Spy. I have read Shawn P. B. Robinson's books before. My niece was a big fan of Jerry the Squirrel, so I wanted to read his new book. I was delightfully surprised to find that Annalynn's Terrible Tissues adventure was filled with the same lighthearted humor and fun as with Jerry, but this time he took a ten year old girl into the world of a spy, with ninja-like enemies, a jet that flies backward, a spy agency that can't get her name right, and a many other funny events in her mission to save the tissue box! Very great story for kids. I can't wait to read this and the others with my niece.

Ten-year-old AnnaLynne has been recruited into CSIS the Canadian Security Intelligence Service which is spread so thin with its few agents either busy or on assignment, that she is needed to retrieve a box of tissues from the Norwegian Intelligence Service whose operatives have stolen it from AnnaLynne’s sick family.

This story is a tween spoof on the spy genre trope. Sure, there are sleek vehicles and fancy spy gadgets, but they don’t work quite the way one would expect. There are undercover hijinx and even a great chase and narrow escape. Plus, one has to simply love an autopilot that can find its way to HQ using the coordinates “Just down the road from Amanda’s place by the tall maple tree.” I found the rivalry between Canada’s hockey players and Norway’s Skiiers to be hilarious and I can just see curious kids googling Etterretningstjenesten. My husband who is learning Norwegian had fun with it. There is much to be said for this story.

It is marketed for ages 7-13, but I feel that may be a bit ambitious. The story while fun and full of laugh-out-loud moments is probably a bit too outlandish for that age group as they are moving away from the silly kid stories that stretch suspension of disbelief, and into serious middle-grade fiction. I am thinking second grade would upper end of the age range I would recommend this series of books for. Though, I do believe that once introduced to the series readers in that age group will happily carry it with them into older grades as new books come out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Silly spy book
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2020
If you want to find out how the LAST box of tissues in Canada is stolen by the Etterretningstjenesten (Norwegian Spy Agency), then this is the book for you! It’s Annalynn to the rescue! I teach third graders and I think this book would be good for that age or younger children. The silly level of the book is fun, and would be entertaining for a reluctant reader. However, I thought the storyline was so far fetched and goofy that I am not sure if kids would see the point. Who steals tissues and why wouldn’t the family’s colds go away without having a box? Either way, it’s a quick read with a problem and solution. As far as being a mystery, there are not clues to follow, it’s just an adventure.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So, I grabbed a copy of Shawn P. B. Robinson’s new series to check it out. I must say the humour in it definitely made me laugh out loud. I was looking for something to add to my classroom library and he doesn’t disappoint! I love the fact that his main character Annalynn, is a young girl, who becomes a Canadian spy. (A great book to introduce to my class.) His Canadian references are hilarious as they pop up throughout the book. I look forward to buying the entire set, as he apparently is releasing at least 8 books in the series. A fun and entertaining read!

There is a disclaimer at the beginning of this book that says 'if you don't laugh a lot, there is no refund.' Well, I'm pleased to report that me and the grandchildren did laugh a lot.
Shaun Robinson has a zany sense of humour and the story reads a bit like Monty Python for kids. You don't try to make sense of the plot, you just go along for the ride. My 7-year-old found it hilarious.
The only slightly disappointing aspect of the book were the illustrations, which are rather basic and 'normal' considering the crazy antics that Annalynn gets involved in.
Overall, a fun story for the target audience.

Annalynn is recruited on a mission to recover tissues stolen from her house, tissues that her sick family desperately need. It was easy to picture little Annalynn with the other ridiculous characters (some of whom insist on calling her Frank), her unruffled French teacher, and the people in blue & red. At some points I was reminded of Amelia Bedelia, at others of a cartoon, where the characters only fall when they notice they're in mid-air. I'm sure kids will enjoy reading this cleverly-woven silliness!
