SOLVED. Children's book series on how to be a spy [s]

[Dani]

There was a book series me a a few friends used to read in elementary school that was about how to be a spy. The one my friend kept checking out was I believe #3 or #4 of the series and had the "masks and disguises" in the title.

It had an illustration on the cover of each book that had a spy doing different things like searching for clues or gathering up things for a "spy kit."

Each book was a different color and was maybe about 90-100 pages long.

What year would that have been? Do you recall if it was more like a guide or had fictitious
characters?

Since it was already out when i was in 3rd grade (1992/1993) and the book was well worn by then so I'm guessing sometime around the 1980s. It was definitely more like a guide. Kind of like what you would see now in Make magazine but for spy stuff.

I think someone else was searching for this book a couple of years ago. I will see if I can dig up that thread. It may also be your book.

I think it is Usbourne's "Good Spy Guides" series.
Here is a link to the series on Librarything.

One of the books is called "Disguise and Make-up."

Yes! That's totally it! Thank you so much! It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out what that series was!
