Helen from Max Minerva's thoughts:

The Agent Asha series cleverly blends coding and technology within a thrilling and amusing spy storyline (and a special mention goes to the secret messages at the start of each chapter). Perfect for fans of InvestiGators, Anisha: Accidental Detective, and those interested in STEM subjects.

-----------

Agent Asha is back in the third instalment of this action-packed spy adventure series, combining STEM with exciting adventures to engage young readers in coding and critical thinking. Top-secret Children’s Spy Agency recruit Asha Joshi has gone undercover to investigate teenage tech billionaire Shelly Belly. When she discovers that Shelly has used artificial intelligence to program the world’s first robot twins, she is panicked.

They haven’t been tested, and they are sure to be dangerous. As twenty robot twins run riot chasing an "evil" cow, top coder and super-spy Asha must work out how to deactivate them. Can she stop Shelly from launching her robot twin technology before anyone gets hurt – or worse?
