Choose Your Own Adventure Spies: Mata Hari
BY
Katherine Factor
Dance in the face of danger in this interactive book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 23 possible endings!
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.
Recommended by teachers and librarians for educational features including:
- Curriculum friendly! Downloadable teachers’ guide.

- Learn about Mata Hari, who was more than a dancer and spy—she was an intelligent and courageous feminist, a resourceful survivor, and an adventurous spirit who lived dangerously.
