Agentes secretos y el mural de Picasso

Students thoroughly enjoyed this book. We had meaningful classroom discussions about characterization, predictions, and Spanish history--in Spanish and students were able to cite text examples from the novel. We created a Picasso mural in the hallway. While the author takes significant creative license--she does so to incorporate Spanish cultural elements. 1)Picasso 2)Spanish Civil War 3)The Running of the Bulls 4)Corrida de Toros.The book is short and easy to digest. There are footnotes and a glossary. The vocabulary is very controlled-travel, familiar situations, clothing, body parts, prepositions. The book is written in simple present (I don't recall any gerunds)-it would be suited for end of Spanish 1 (with significant teacher-support), Spanish 2 (to review present tense), I'm used in as the introductory independent 2 week novel in Spanish 3 (after a summer without Spanish) to teach independent reading procedures.

Read this book for my spanish class, it was alright.

I am a college student and had to get this book for a Spanish class, but I'm really glad I did. It shipped very quickly and was at a really good price compared to the book store at my university. The book itself is in very simple Spanish but it's been really helpful with Spanish comprehension and my reading speed. Definitely recommend.

The book Agentes secretos y el mural de Picasso is an educational book that also tells a good story.I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read in Spanish and learn about the Mexican culture.The book has a lot of details and can teach you how to learn new Spanish.Also I enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to you if you wanted to learn about the Mexican culture and want to understand Spanish better.

I like this one, but even better one of my students has been reading it for fvr and when I asked what he thought he said it's really interesting!

Great book for teen who are learning Spanish.

Kids had to read this for Spanish

The story is a little silly but great for Spanish 2, really expanding my vocabulary.
