There’s a new girl in my class, and I’m convinced she’s a SECRET AGENT! She wears two earpieces – just like the spies in my favorite book, Spies in Space! How exciting is that? Every day, she reports to someone – a handler from the D.E.A.P! I have no idea what that stands for, but it has to be something super-duper SECRET! I need to find out what she’s really up to. Good thing I’ve read loads of books on how to be sneaky. It’s time to put my skills to the test! Watch out, Isabella Marsh – I’m going to uncover all your secrets!
A. H. Hassen grew up across three countries and isn’t sure which one to call home. What he can say is that New Zealand, Sri Lankan, and Australian lifestyles are wildly different, and have made him an expert in understanding wildly different accents. He first got a graduate degree in science, studying biology and journalism. Realising far too late that science wasn’t for him, he pursued and completed a degree in Games Design, studying programming and interactive narrative. During this time, he penned the first version of ‘I Think the New Kid is a Secret Agent!’. He graduated with First Class honours a year later in Games Design. Following this, he remembered and edited the original manuscript, while working at the very same university.
