Choose Your Own Adventure Spies: Mata Hari

Choose Your Own Adventure books-the 4th bestselling children's series of all time-now include historical fiction, in which you're an actual historic spy! Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.

The year is 1915, and YOU are young Margaretha Zelle, a world-famous dancer from the Netherlands who was best known by her stage name, "Mata Hari." You have just arrived in Bali, Indonesia, with your dance troupe when your best friend Althea goes missing. As a master of tongues and disguises, who better to save her? Your trek through the mysterious Balinese jungle might lead you to a top secret spy school, but if you leave now, you will miss your chance to audition for the performance of a lifetime. Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death.
