Rereading: FREDDY AND THE FLYING SAUCER PLANS by Walter R. Brooks

The penultimate book in the Freddy series seems to be about the Martians again, but it’s not. Instead Uncle Ben Bean has designed his own flying saucer based on the Martian one, and his plans for it become a highly desirable goal for spies from many countries, who all converge on the Bean farm. Freddy has an idea to get rid of them involving a fake set of plans, but that goes awry when Uncle Ben realizes he’s given Freddy the real plans instead of the fake ones. Freddy puts all his animal and insect friends to work to defeat the spies, including a new friend, Samuel the mole and a colony of large cannibal ants. Even then, things keep going wrong, and Freddy is captured by some of the spies and must try to work out of trouble from the inside.

Great fun and recommended.
